I Can Still Steal A Base Anytime

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.

I Was Stealing All The Bases, And When You Had To Go To Arbitration They Said, 'you Know, Only The Big Boys Make The Money.' So I Got To Try And Figure Out How To Hit A Home Run, Too.

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.

I Don't Want To Be One Of Those Great Players Who Never Made It To The (world) Series.
