Maybe I was born to play ball. Maybe I truly was.
Yes, I had to learn how to live life outside, but I had so many people help me.
I played with the Birmingham Black Barons. I was making 500 at 14. That was a lot of money in those days.
Baseball is a game, yes. It is also a business.
I don't rate them, I just hit them.
I don't compare 'em, I just catch 'em.
