You Have To Keep Running. I Always

When I Was A Little-leaguer, I Was Sort Of Famous For Stealing Bases - And It Started Only Because My Mom Wanted To Be Sure Where I Was In The Afternoons. Mom Always Used To Say, "if You Don't Come Home Dirty, You Didn't Play A Baseball Game." So I Always Tried To Get In A Situation Where I Had To Slide So That I Could Go Home Dirty.

It Gave Me No Chance. He (nolan Ryan) Just Blew It (strikeout #5,000) By Me. But Its An Honor. I'll Have Another Paragraph In All The Baseball Books. I'm Already In The Books Three Or Four Times.

People Say I Stole A Lot Of Bases. I Stole The Bases For A Reason. I Crossed The Plate.

It's Always Exciting That You Can Rub Elbows With Some Of The Greatest Players Who Have Ever Played The Game, And Just Being Around The "family" Again From Baseball.

You Never Had The Opportunity To Play With Some Of The Great Ballplayers, But Being That Close Around Them, And Being In The Same Category, Was A Great Feeling, To Feel That Vibe Of All The Best Players Who Played The Game.
