I Was Born In August, No July,

Just Take The Ball And Throw It Where You Want To. Throw Strikes. Home Plate Don't Move.

Don't Go To College, Unless To Get Knowledge.

I Don't Generally Like Running. I Believe In Training By Rising Gently Up And Down From The Bench.

I Never Threw An Illegal Pitch. The Trouble Is, Once In A While I Toss One That Ain't Never Been Seen By This Generation.

Baseball Is The Most Perfect Of Games, Solid, True, Pure And Precious As Diamonds. If Only Life Were So Simple. Within The Baselines Anything Can Happen. Tides Can Reverse; Oceans Can Open. That's Why They Say, We Don't Stop Playing Because We Get Old. We Get Old Because We Stop Playing.
