Thank God For Baseball.

As Far As He Knew, I Was Dying.

My Dad Taught Me To Switch-hit. He And My Grandfather, Who Was Left-handed, Pitched To Me Every Day After School In The Back Yard. I Batted Lefty Against My Dad And Righty Against My Granddad.

Bravery Is A Complicated Thing To Describe. You Can't Say It's Three Feet Long And Two Feet Wide And That It Weighs Four Hundred Pounds Or That It's Colored Bright Blue Or That It Sounds Like A Piano Or That It Smells Like Roses. It's A Quality, Not A Thing.

As Far As I'm Concerned, Aaron Is The Best Ball Player Of My Era. He Is To Baseball Of The Last Fifteen Years What Joe Dimaggio Was Before Him. He's Never Received The Credit He's Due.

All I Had Was Natural Ability.
