Defense To Me Is The Key To Playing Baseball.

I Think I Was Programmed To Do Good Things When I Came Into The Majors. I Knew How To Play.

I Would Try And Help Everybody, Because The Game Was So Easy For Me. It Was Just Like Walking In The Park.

If You Can Do That - If You Run, Hit, Run The Bases, Hit With Power, Field, Throw And Do All Other Things That Are Part Of The Game - Then You're A Good Ballplayer.

Baseball Is A Game, Yes. It Is Also A Business. But What Is Most Truly Is Is Disguised Combat. For All Its Gentility, Its Almost Leisurely Pace, Baseball Is Violence Under Wraps.
