Baseball Is Only A Game, A Game

When You Make A Bad Pitch And The Hitter Puts It Out Of The Park And You Cost Your Team The Game, It's A Real Test Of Your Maturity To Be Able To Stand In Front Of Your Locker Fifteen Minutes Later And Admit It To The World.

Nobody Lives Forever And I've Had A Blessed Life.

I Don't Think Baseball Owes Colored People Anything. I Don't Think Colored People Owe Baseball Anything, Either.

Where The Ball Went Was Up To Heaven. Sometimes I Threw The Ball Clean Up Into The Stands.

I Needed To Join The Navy. If You Ask The People In Europe Who Won World War Ii, They Don't Say The Allies, They Say The United States Won The War And Saved The World.
