I Have Always Had Fun

I Haven't Had The Time To Say, 'i'm Retiring.' But Baseball Says, 'you're Retired.'

You Never Had The Opportunity To Play With Some Of The Great Ballplayers, But Being That Close Around Them, And Being In The Same Category, Was A Great Feeling, To Feel That Vibe Of All The Best Players Who Played The Game.

In Baseball You Train The Whole Body, Except For The Hip And Eyes.

When I Was A Little-leaguer, I Was Sort Of Famous For Stealing Bases - And It Started Only Because My Mom Wanted To Be Sure Where I Was In The Afternoons. Mom Always Used To Say, "if You Don't Come Home Dirty, You Didn't Play A Baseball Game." So I Always Tried To Get In A Situation Where I Had To Slide So That I Could Go Home Dirty.

I Was Stealing All The Bases, And When You Had To Go To Arbitration They Said, 'you Know, Only The Big Boys Make The Money.' So I Got To Try And Figure Out How To Hit A Home Run, Too.
