I Think I Was The Best Baseball

I Was Very Fortunate To Play Sports. All The Anger In Me Went Out. I Had To Do What I Had To Do. If You Stay Angry All The Time, Then You Really Don't Have A Good Life.

Never Assume The Other Guy Will Never Do Something You Would Never Do.

I Remember The Last Season I Played. I Went Home After A Ballgame One Day, Lay Down On My Bed, And Tears Came To My Eyes. How Can You Explain That? It's Like Crying For Your Mother After She's Gone. You Cry Because You Love Her. I Cried, I Guess, Because I Loved Baseball, And I Knew I Had To Leave It.

I Didn't Teach You That. Catch The Ball With Your Glove.

When I Was In Birmingham I Used To Go To A Place Called Redwood Field. I Used To Get There For A Two O'clock Game. Where Can You Make This Kind Of Money Playing Sports? It Was Just A Pleasure To Go Out And Enjoy Myself And Get Paid For It.
