I would try and help everybody, because the game was so easy for me. It was just like walking in the park.
When I'm not hitting, I don't hit nobody. But, when I'm hitting, I hit anybody.
I played with the Birmingham Black Barons. I was making 500 at 14. That was a lot of money in those days.
I didn't teach you that. Catch the ball with your glove.
What's tough is being good every day.
When I was in Birmingham I used to go to a place called Redwood Field. I used to get there for a two o'clock game. Where can you make this kind of money playing sports? It was just a pleasure to go out and enjoy myself and get paid for it.
