This is a pretty good game and a pretty swell way to make a living. The conditions in the majors are fine and the money is good.
One year I hit .291 and had to take a salary cut. If you hit .291 today, you'd own the franchise.
So I say keep yelling and hustling every minute you're in uniform.
From that day on, I ran from spot to spot.
I learned early on to never walk while I was on the ball field. I ran everywhere I went.
I asked no odds and I give none. A guy got in my way, I run over him.
To be a big league ball player, you have to love the game.
