I've Had Heroes In My Life -

I've Always Called L.a. 'the World Capital Of Sport.'

I've Got A Portrait In The Smithsonian. Who Ever Thought That Would Happen?

The Gym Teacher's Name Was Mr. Caruso. Mr. Caruso Did Not Speak English. He Spoke 'gym.' One Day I Was Playing Basketball And Mr. Caruso Told Me I Would Have To Get An Athletic Supporter. He Didn't Express Himself Exactly That Way, Though. He Said, 'hey, You, One Day You're Gonna Go Up For A Rebound And The Family Jewels Aren't Gonna Go With Ya.' I Had No Idea What He Was Talking About. Next Day I Showed Up For Practice Without My Watch And My Mezuzah. He Said, 'did Ya Take Care Of The Family Jewels?' I Said, 'i Left 'em In My Locker.' Took Us A Half Hour To Revive Mr. Caruso.

Sometimes You've Just Got To Let An Umpire Know That You're Not Satisfied With His Decision. That They've Missed The Play In Your Opinion. Not That It's Going To Do You Any Good, But You've Got To Let Them Know.

I Love Doubleheaders. That Way I Get To Keep My Uniform On Longer.
