I Did What Any American Could And

Life Comes Down To Honesty And Doing What's Right. That's What's Most Important.

My Father Kept Me Busy From Dawn To Dusk When I Was A Kid. When I Wasn't Pitching Hay, Hauling Corn Or Running A Tractor, I Was Heaving A Baseball Into His Mitt Behind The Barn... If All The Parents In The Country Followed His Rule, Juvenile Delinquency Would Be Cut In Half In A Year's Time.

Nobody Lives Forever And I've Had A Blessed Life.

I Went On Inactive Duty In August 1945, And Since I Had Stayed In Such Good Shape And Had Played Ball On Military Teams, I Was Ready To Start For The Indians Just Two Days Later, Against The Tigers.

Where The Ball Went Was Up To Heaven. Sometimes I Threw The Ball Clean Up Into The Stands.
