I owe a large part of my success to Joe Brown, who helped me both as a player and a person.

I flailed my arm in a throwing motion before I could even walk.

I found myself in a race with Mother Nature to play as much baseball as I could before she forced me to stop.

I've always been a slave to my heart.

That's where the future lies, in the youth of today.

Vietnam helped me realize who the true heroes really are in this world. It's not the home-run hitters.

Don't be sharp or flat; just be natural.
