To My Sick Little Pal. I Will

If It Wasn't For Baseball, I'd Be In Either The Penitentiary Or The Cemetery. I Have The Same Violent Temper My Father And Older Brother Had. Both Died Of Injuries From Street Fights In Baltimore, Fights Begun By Flare-ups Of Their Tempers.

I Only Have One Superstition: I Make Sure To Touch All The Bases When I Hit A Home Run.

Baseball Is The Greatest Game In The World And Deserves The Best You Can Give It.

A Part Of Control Is Learning To Correct Your Own Weaknesses. The Person Doesn't Live Who Was Born With Everything. Sometimes He Has One Weak Point, Generally He Has Several. The First Thing Is To Know Your Faults. And Then Take On A Systematic Plan Of Correcting Them. You Know The Old Saying About A Chain Only Being As Strong As Its Weakest Link. The Same Can Be Said In The Chain Of Skills A Man Forges.
