We're Not Raising Grass. We're Raising Boys.

I Found Out Early In Life That I Could Hit A Baseball Farther Than Most Players And That's What I Tried To Do.

My Father Used To Play With My Brother And Me In The Yard. Mother Would Come Out And Say, 'you're Tearing Up The Grass'; 'we're Not Raising Grass,' Dad Would Reply. 'we're Raising Boys.'

I Remember One Spring When I Was Doing The Team's Telecasts, Bob Allison Was With Me, And We Were Walking Through The Clubhouse In Orlando. This Kid Who Was Trying To Make It With The Twins As An Outfielder Came Up To Me And Asked Who Was That With Me. I Said That's Bob Allison, And You Better Hope You Have As Good A Career As He Had.

It's Very Disappointing... Anything That Harms The Integrity Of The Game Is Terrible. We Always Thought We Were Immune To Drugs In Baseball, But We Know That's Not True Anymore.

We're Not Raising Grass. We're Raising Boys.
