Always Wanted To Be A Major League

Always Wanted To Be A Major League Player. Loved Baseball. Followed It. Loved To Play. Plus, I Could Always Hit.

What Made Me Sign With The Cardinals? Because They Used Salesmanship, The Personal Touch.

Used To Be Bats Had Thick Handles And A Big Barrel. Then They Found It's Not The Size Of The Bat That Gets Home Runs - It's The Speed With Which You Can Swing It.

I Think I Had The Smallest Handle Around. When I Got My Bats, I Even Trimmed Them Down. I Used To Scrape Them. Some Years Later When I Started Getting Older, I Used To Start With A 33 And In The Summer It Got Down To 31 And Then Probably In September Got Down To 30.

There Was Never A Day When I Was As Good As Joe Dimaggio At His Best. Joe Was The Best, The Very Best I Ever Saw.
