I Guess That's What Little League Is

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.

And I'm A Believer That You Take A Negative And Turn It Into A Positive, And As It Turned Out, It Was One Of The Best Things That Ever Happened To Me. And So I Do Appreciate The Ranger Staff And The Ranger Organization For Giving Me That Opportunity.

I Feel Very Fortunate That I Played For The Four Organizations I Did.

For My Children, They Spent 15 To 20 Years Of Their Life In Baseball. And Ruth And I Spent So Many Years Of Our Married Life That That Was Our Life. We Knew Nothing Else.

And When I Went To Houston, They Had A Conditioning Coach By The Name Of Gene Coleman. And That Was The First Time I Had Gone To An Organization That Had A Program With A Weight Room And Designed Specifically For Pitchers.
