Where The Ball Went Was Up To

I'm No Hero. Heroes Don't Come Back. Survivors Return Home. Heroes Never Come Home. If Anyone Thinks I'm A Hero, I'm Not.

I Went On Inactive Duty In August 1945, And Since I Had Stayed In Such Good Shape And Had Played Ball On Military Teams, I Was Ready To Start For The Indians Just Two Days Later, Against The Tigers.

I Needed To Join The Navy. If You Ask The People In Europe Who Won World War Ii, They Don't Say The Allies, They Say The United States Won The War And Saved The World.

My Father Kept Me Busy From Dawn To Dusk When I Was A Kid. When I Wasn't Pitching Hay, Hauling Corn Or Running A Tractor, I Was Heaving A Baseball Into His Mitt Behind The Barn... If All The Parents In The Country Followed His Rule, Juvenile Delinquency Would Be Cut In Half In A Year's Time.

I Try To Be A Good Human Being And Keep Up With What's Going On In The World By Reading And Staying In Touch With The Current Events.
