I Don't Rate Them, I Just Hit

Yes, I Had To Learn How To Live Life Outside, But I Had So Many People Help Me.

I'm A Very Lucky Guy. I Had So Many People Help Me Over The Years That I Never Had Many Problems. If I Had A Problem, I Could Sit Down With Someone And They Would Explain The Problem To Me, And The Problem Become Like A Baseball Game

I Don't Know What Joe (dimaggio) Wanted (in Regards To Being Called 'the Greatest Living Ballplayer'), But I Don't Have A Problem, If He Wanted To Do That. He Was My Hero. Joe Was The Best All-around Player. Joe Was The Best. I Only Played Against Him Once, In The '51 Series.

At Ten I Was Playing Against 18-year-old Guys. At 15 I Was Playing Professional Ball With The Birmingham Black Barons, So I Really Came Very Quickly In All Sports.

They Throw The Ball, I Hit It. They Hit The Ball, I Catch It.
