Baseball Is A Game, Yes. It Is

I Think I Was Programmed To Do Good Things When I Came Into The Majors. I Knew How To Play.

I Don't Know What Joe (dimaggio) Wanted (in Regards To Being Called 'the Greatest Living Ballplayer'), But I Don't Have A Problem, If He Wanted To Do That. He Was My Hero. Joe Was The Best All-around Player. Joe Was The Best. I Only Played Against Him Once, In The '51 Series.

When I Was In Birmingham I Used To Go To A Place Called Redwood Field. I Used To Get There For A Two O'clock Game. Where Can You Make This Kind Of Money Playing Sports? It Was Just A Pleasure To Go Out And Enjoy Myself And Get Paid For It.

The Greatest Challenge I Think Is Adjusting To Not Playing Baseball. The Reason For That Is I Had To Come Out Of Baseball And Come Into The Business World, Not Being A College Graduate, Not Being Educated To Come Into The Business World The Way I Should Have.

I Was A Baseball Player, I Taught Baseball, And All Of A Sudden I Was In The Business World. Now I Used The Baseball World To Talk About Their Product. Not Too Much, Just Enough To Keep Going. Just Be Yourself And You'll Never Have A Problem. That's What I Did.
