I Try To Be A Good Human

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. How Many People In Other Professions Would Be Willing To Have Their Job Performances Evaluated That Way, In Front Of Millions, Every Afternoon At Five O'clock.

I Try To Be A Good Human Being And Keep Up With What's Going On In The World By Reading And Staying In Touch With The Current Events.

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

I Went On Inactive Duty In August 1945, And Since I Had Stayed In Such Good Shape And Had Played Ball On Military Teams, I Was Ready To Start For The Indians Just Two Days Later, Against The Tigers.

I Was Only A Gun Captain On The Battleship Alabama For 34 Months. People Have Called Me A Hero For That, But I'll Tell You This - Heroes Don't Come Home. Survivors Come Home.
