One of my superstitions is I'm not allowed to talk about them.
My inspiration was the game itself, not any individual player in it.
I love the game of baseball.
Get an education because no one can take that away from you.
Back then, my idol was Bugs Bunny, because I saw a cartoon of him playing ball - you know, the one where he plays every position himself with nobody else on the field but him? Now that I think of it, Bugs is still my idol. You have to love a ballplayer like that.
You can't hit without your hands.
