For My Children, They Spent 15 To

I Cant Think Of Anything More Humiliating Than Losing A Ballgame To A Guy Who Steals Home On You. It Happened To Me One Time Against Kansas City. I Had A 2-2 Count On The Hitter - And Amos Otis Broke From Third. The Pitch Was A Ball And Slid In Safe. I Felt Like A Nickel.

I Came Into The Game When I Broke Into The Major Leagues, The Minimum Salary Was Seven Thousand Dollars, And I'd Have To Go Home In The Wintertime And Get A Job.

My Job Is To Give My Team A Chance To Win.

For My Children, They Spent 15 To 20 Years Of Their Life In Baseball. And Ruth And I Spent So Many Years Of Our Married Life That That Was Our Life. We Knew Nothing Else.

Baseball Life Is A Tough Life On The Family.
