Flying was as necessary to my business as fiddles and footlights.
How often does a guy who lives and breathes baseball meet a woman who loves the game and understands it as well as he?
I always wanted to grow up fast. I longed for more than the Mississippi Delta could give.
I loved Mississippi and do to this day. The rainbows that stretch from horizon to horizon after a summer rain are the most spectacular I have ever seen.
I believe it is possible to tell what sign some people were born under by watching their eyes, watching how they walk, how they talk.
I might have become a minor celebrity but royalty checks were a long way off.
When they asked me, I didn't hesitate. I don't get a chance to do many things that aren't so scheduled.
