It Helps If The Hitter

I Can Honestly Say It Took Two Full Years For Me To Get Over The Fact That I Was No Longer A Baseball Player.

And To Play As Long As I Did And To Have A Family You Have To Be Very Blessed And I Was With My Wife Ruth. Ruth, I Appreciate The Job You Did, And My Three Fine Children, Reid, Reese, And Wendy.

I Am Going To Spend My Time Today Just Thanking The People That Played A Role In My Career, Because I Truly Do Believe That I Was Blessed By A Lot Of People That Paths Crossed Mine As I Went Down The Road In My Career.

I Had The Pleasure, As Robin Said, To Live A Childhood Dream As Many Young Americans And Puerto Rican Children Live That Play Youth Baseball. And I Feel Honored And Very Thankful For That Opportunity.

I Grew Up With The Thought That I Wanted To Treat People The Way I'd Like To Be Treated, And I Think If You Do That, It's Pretty Hard To Go Wrong.
