games america today
I'm just a beat up old third baseman. I'm just a small part of a wonderful game that is a tremendous part of America today.
fun kids years
When you're a kid, what fun the game is! You grab a bat and glove and ball, that's it. I know what Ted Williams and Stan Musial meant when they said it got tougher to get in shape every year.
mother father balls
My mother used to pitch to me and my father would shag balls. If I hit one up the middle close to my mother, I'd have some extra chores to do. My mother was instrumental in making me a pull hitter.
years people three
I don't know where Hank Aaron will break (Babe) Ruth's record but I can tell you one thing - ten years from the day he hits it three million people will say they were there.

It's only a hitch when you're in a slump. When you're hitting the ball its called rhythm.
