I would always reserve a special place in my heart for Pittsburgh.

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

My first job after my retirement from baseball was as a narrator for the Eastman Philharmonica.

I was bred as an outcast, part Negro and part Seminole, in my early years raised as an Indian.

To me, baseball has always been a reflection of life. Like life, it adjusts. It survives everything.

There's nothing I value more than the closeness of friends and family, a smile as I pass someone on the street.

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