My Father Kept Me Busy From Dawn

My Father Kept Me Busy From Dawn To Dusk When I Was A Kid. When I Wasn't Pitching Hay, Hauling Corn Or Running A Tractor, I Was Heaving A Baseball Into His Mitt Behind The Barn... If All The Parents In The Country Followed His Rule, Juvenile Delinquency Would Be Cut In Half In A Year's Time.

When You Make A Bad Pitch And The Hitter Puts It Out Of The Park And You Cost Your Team The Game, It's A Real Test Of Your Maturity To Be Able To Stand In Front Of Your Locker Fifteen Minutes Later And Admit It To The World. How Many People In Other Professions Would Be Willing To Have Their Job Performances Evaluated That Way, In Front Of Millions, Every Afternoon At Five O'clock.

I Just Reared Back And Let Them Go.

I Would Rather Beat The Yankees Regularly Than Pitch A No Hit Game.

You Can Talk About Teamwork On A Baseball Team, But I'll Tell You, It Takes Teamwork When You Have 2,900 Men Stationed On The U.s.s. Alabama In The South Pacific.
