I Played It Right Because

I Was Taught You Never, Ever Disrespect Your Opponent Or Your Teammates Or Your Organization Or Your Manager, And Never, Ever Your Uniform.

There's Not Too Many Guys That Spend Their Whole Career With One Team And I Think It's Very Fortunate And A Blessing For Me

If This Validates Anything, It's That Learning How To Bunt And Hit-and-run And Turning Two Is More Important Than Knowing Where To Find The Little Red Light On The Dugout Camera.

The Reason I Am Here, They Tell Me, Is That I Played The Game A Certain Way, That I Played The Game The Way It Was Supposed To Be Played.

A Lot Of People Say This Honor Validates My Career, But I Didn't Work Hard For Validation.
