To be successful, one must take chances.
My first job after my retirement from baseball was as a narrator for the Eastman Philharmonica.
Never had I had so many friends and so much fun as I did in the projects.
Baseball for me was instinctive, born within me, given to me as a gift from God.
I don't really feel that I deserve all my applause.
People like us are afraid to leave ball. What else is there to do? When baseball has been your whole life, you can't think about a future without it, so you hang on as long as you can.
