When I Played Ball, I Didn't Play

I Regret To This Day That I Never Went To College. I Feel I Should Have Been A Doctor.

When I Played Ball, I Didn't Play For Fun. . . . It's No Pink Tea, And Mollycoddles Had Better Stay Out. It's A Contest And Everything That Implies, A Struggle For Supremacy, A Survival Of The Fittest.

When I Began Playing The Game, Baseball Was About As Gentlemanly As A Kick In The Crotch.

The First Time I Faced Him I Watched Him Take That Easy Windup And Then Something Went Past Me That Made Me Flinch. The Thing Just Hissed With Danger. We Couldn't Touch Him... Every One Of Us Knew We'd Met The Most Powerful Arm Ever Turned Loose In A Ball Park.

I've Been Called One Of The Hardest Bargainers Who Ever Held Out, And I'm Proud Of It.
