I've Been Proud To Be A Lifelong

Baseball Wasn't Easy For Me.

When Did It - When Did It Become Okay For Someone To Hit Home Runs And Forget How To Play The Rest Of The Game?

If This Validates Anything, It's That Learning How To Bunt And Hit-and-run And Turning Two Is More Important Than Knowing Where To Find The Little Red Light On The Dugout Camera.

I Was Taught Coming Up In The Phillies Organization To Be Seen And Not Heard By People Like Pete Rose, My Hero Growing Up, And Players Like Mike Schmidt And Steve Carlton And Manny Trillo.

Hit A Home Run - Put Your Head Down, Drop The Bat, Run Around The Bases, Because The Name On The Front Is More - A Lot More Important Than The Name On The Back.
