It's a funny thing, but, as years go by, I think you appreciate more and more what a great thing it was to be a United States Marine... People will tell me what a shame it was I had to go back into the service a second time, but I'm kinda glad I did.. Besides, I am a U.S. Marine and I'll be one till I die.

The Cleveland Cavaliers just offered me a full-time job and a house! A house! A house!
There goes the greatest hitter who ever lived
I don't want to take anything away from Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle. They're both great hitters, but they're batting against guys they never would have seen in previous years.

When we have an out and those girls on, we know we can steal. That means we don't have to wait on two hits. Anything in the outfield, we're going to try to send them.
