What Man In His 40s

And Then When I Went To Stay In '68, I Can Honestly Say That I Was Not Focused On My Career And On What It Took To Be A Major League Pitcher And To Be A Starting Pitcher.

My Ability To Throw A Baseball Was A Gift. It Was A God-given Gift. And I Am Truly Appreciative Of That Gift.

You've Got To Realize That In Any Competition There Is Always A Winner And Loser. When It Turns Out That You're The Loser On A Given Day, You Can Be A Graceful Loser, But It Doesn't Mean That You're A Loser In The Sense That You're Willing To Accept Losses Readily. Concede That On That Day You Weren't The Best And That You Were Beaten In Competition. But That Should Make You More Dedicated And Hard Working. It's Wrong To Accept Defeat As A Loser. Be Graceful About Losing, But Don't Accept It.

I Guess That's What Little League Is All About -- Trying.

I Cant Think Of Anything More Humiliating Than Losing A Ballgame To A Guy Who Steals Home On You. It Happened To Me One Time Against Kansas City. I Had A 2-2 Count On The Hitter - And Amos Otis Broke From Third. The Pitch Was A Ball And Slid In Safe. I Felt Like A Nickel.
