Maybe I Was Born To Play Ball.

"and My Father Didn't Have Money For Me To Go To College. And At That Particular Time They Didn't Have Black Quarterbacks, And I Don't Think I Could Have Made It In Basketball, Because I Was Only 5′ 11". So I Just Picked Baseball."

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 Played With The Birmingham Black Barons. I Was Making 500 At 14. That Was A Lot Of Money In Those Days.

What's Tough Is Being Good Every Day.

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