Anyone Can Be A Father, But It

In Life, So Many Things Are Taken For Granted, But One Thing I Can Honestly Say Is That I Took Every Day, Enjoyed The Game Of Putting On That Uniform And Playing The Great Game Of Baseball.

The Owner Of The New York Yankees, Mr. George Steinbrenner Who I Had The Greatest Respect For, I Want To Thank Him For Giving Me The Opportunity To Win That Special Ring In 1996.

I Played The Game One Way. I Gave It Everything I Had. It Doesn't Take Any Ability To Hustle.

One Guy That I Wish Was Here Right Now, Ted Williams, Helped Me So Much, Our Long Talks, Not About Hitting But About Fishing, One Of Ted's Passions, And I Wish He Was Here Today To Share This With Me Because I Owe So Much To Ted Williams.

Humbled By The Fact That Never In A Million Years Would I Ever Thought That I Would Be On The Same Stage With All These Great Hall Of Famers And Enshrined To The National Baseball Hall Of Fame.
