In A Year That Has Been So

I Love Baseball And I Don't Want To Be Part Of Anything That Would Cheapen It Or Vulgarize It.

The Ability To Throw 100 Mph Cannot Be Taught, Cannot Be Learned, It Can Only Be God-given.

And Also It's An Ever-gathering Process. If I Pick Up The Sporting News Or Some Sports Publication And There's An Article On Somebody And I Think I Might See That Player, I Will Tear It Out And Put It In A File, And I Have A Looseleaf Book So When We're Going To Play That Particular Team I Take Out All These Clippings And Things I Pulled Out, I Go Through Them, Highlight Them, Put Them In The Book.

God Willing I Will Be Back Next Year. Over The Years I Have Been Blessed To Have So Many Friends Including Those That Sit In The Stands And Listen As Well As Those At Home, Who Listen And Watch. It Is Just Too Hard To Say Goodbye To All These Friends. Naturally There Will Come A Time, When I Will Have To Say Goodbye, But I've Soul-searched And This Is Not The Time.
