But I would say basically, I would just like to be remembered for what I did on the field.

It (the slider) just rolls off of your index finger and begins it's spin which will take it down and across the plate (hopefully). Just remember not to twist your elbow or wrist. It should be thrown, with the wrist and grip set, just like your fastball, slightly off center - with the same velocity and intensity.

I was probably in the best shape of any athlete at the time, but you don't get to pass judgment on yourself.

My major league debut came at old Busch Stadium on Grand Avenue in St. Louis against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

So what I did on the field was the essence of what I am. Remember me like that.

I threw all my pitches over the top which was important for me because my slider was hard to tell from my fastball at release.

That's the past. I don't agree with retrospect.
