The fourth major league game I ever saw in person, I was in uniform

If you played the game the right way, played the game for the team, good things would happen

I was in awe every time I walked on to the field

In baseball, there's always the next day

At my growing years of 18 to 21 years old in the Minor Leagues, I dreamed of being a Philadelphia Phillie.

I got into pro ball at 18 and played until I was almost 39, non-stop.

It didn't happen, but I feel fortunate for the two chances we had and it's just a shame we didn't go to a World Series for Cub fans.
