Life Is Precious And Time

My Father Used To Play With My Brother And Me In The Yard. Mother Would Come Out And Say, 'you're Tearing Up The Grass'; 'we're Not Raising Grass,' Dad Would Reply. 'we're Raising Boys.'

I Didn't Have Evil Intentions, But I Guess I Did Have Power.

I Found Out Early In Life That I Could Hit A Baseball Farther Than Most Players And That's What I Tried To Do.

When I Was 14, And For The Next Four Years, I Was Lifting And Hauling 10-gallon Milk Cans Full Of Milk. That Will Put Muscles On You Even If You're Not Trying.

I Spent Twenty-two Seasons Playing Professional Baseball. Naturally, Success In That Field Is Measured By Batting Averages, Number Of Home Runs And Rbis, Fielding Averages, Eras And Other Statistics. Fame, Notoriety And The Bright Lights Fade Quickly. To Me, True Success In Life Would Be To Develop Both Physically And Spiritually To Our Fullest And To Endure To The End!
