It is not something I earned or acquired or bought. It is a gift. It is something that was given to me -- just like the color of my skin.
I can't wait until the new one is built. New is good.
It was just a natural thing for me. I don't know that I really worked on it. At some point every pitcher is in the same position in his mechanics ? how you get to that point will always be different.
It wasn't like that when I started out in Omaha (in 1957). I walked into the clubhouse here and I remember the one we had in Omaha was about one-third the size of that.
He walked 1.9 men per nine innings, that's pretty good. I used to average about three or four -- I'd hit six or seven.
