To middle-class parents, the project team may have seemed unfit for children, but it was exactly what I needed.

Playing baseball was my dream, and no amount of money could sway my opinion.

Baseball for me was instinctive, born within me, given to me as a gift from God.

The Giants were a good team, but our biggest enemy was said to be Candlestick Park.

I was always a self-proclaimed poor slider.

I never did allow anything to keep me from my kids. They're the most important part of my life.

Never had I had so many friends and so much fun as I did in the projects.
