There Is Always Some Kid

Baseball Didn't Really Get Into My Blood Until I Knocked Off That Hitting Streak. Getting A Daily Hit Became More Important To Me Than Eating, Drinking Or Sleeping.

Just Two Words: A Masterpiece.

You Always Get A Special Kick On Opening Day, No Matter How Many You Go Through. You Look Forward To It Like A Birthday Party When You're A Kid. You Think Something Wonderful Is Going To Happen.

Now This Is Over Thirty Years Later And The Guy Said He Was That Cab Driver. He Apologized And He Was Serious. I Felt Awful. He Might Have Been Spending His Whole Life Thinking He Had Jinxed Me, But I Told Him He Hadn't. My Number Was Up.

There Is Always Some Kid Who May Be Seeing Me For The First Time. I Owe Him My Best.
