Butcher Boy, Damn It, Butcher

You Hit .350 You're A Leader. You Hit .250 And You're Not.

In 1960 When Pittsburgh Beat Us In The World Series, We Outscored Them 55-27. It Was The Only Time I Think The Better Team Lost. I Was So Disappointed I Cried On The Plane Ride Home.

I Never Got To See The '27 Yankees. Everyone Says That Was The Greatest Team Ever. But I Think It Would've Been A Great Series If We'd Have Had The Chance To Play Them.

During My 18 Years I Came To Bat Almost 10,000 Times. I Struck Out About 1,700 Times And Walked Maybe 1,800 Times. You Figure A Ballplayer Will Average About 500 At-bats A Season. That Means I Played 7 Years Without Ever Hitting The Ball.

The Biggest Thrill I Ever Had Was In 1969, When They Held Day At Yankee Stadium.
