I Can Remember A Reporter Asking Me

When You Have Five Or Six Potential Hall Of Famers On Your Team ... That's When You Win Penants And Championships. The Only Thing You Have To Be Concerned About Is Getting The Ballplayers To Bed On Time.

After I Got That Hit Off Satchel (paige), I Knew I Was Ready For The Big Leagues.

If Anyone Wants To Know Why Three Kids In One Family Made It To The Big Leagues They Just Had To Know How We Helped Each Other And How Much We Practiced Back Then. We Did It Every Minute We Could.

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.
