It's A Pretty Big Shadow. It Gives

When You Have A Father And A Mother Who Work All Their Lives So You Can Have An Education And Build Your Body - It's A Blessing.

You Have To Get Knocked Down To Realize How People Really Feel About You. I've Realized That More Than Ever Lately. The Other Day, I Was On My Way To The Car. It Was Hailing, The Streets Were Slippery And I Was Having A Tough Time Of It. I Came To A Corner And Started To Slip. But Before I Could Fall, Four People Jumped Out Of Nowhere To Help Me. When I Thanked Them, They All Said They Knew About My Illness And Had Been Keeping An Eye On Me.

I Worked Real Hard To Learn To Play First. In The Beginning, I Used To Make One Terrible Play A Game. Then, I Got So I'd Make One A Week, And Finally, I'd Pull A Real Bad One Maybe Once A Month. At The End, I Was Trying To Keep It Down To One A Season.

Fans, For The Past Two Weeks You Have Been Reading About A Bad Break I Got. Yet Today, I Consider Myself The Luckiest Man On The Face Of The Earth.

I'm Not A Headline Guy. I Know That As Long As I Was Following Ruth To The Plate I Could Have Stood On My Head And No One Would Have Known The Difference.
