Roger Maris Was As Good A Man

Bravery Is A Complicated Thing To Describe. You Can't Say It's Three Feet Long And Two Feet Wide And That It Weighs Four Hundred Pounds Or That It's Colored Bright Blue Or That It Sounds Like A Piano Or That It Smells Like Roses. It's A Quality, Not A Thing.

In 1961 Somebody Could've Hit A Home Run To Win The Game And The Next Day The Headline Was About The M&m Boys Not Hitting A Home Run. But Everyone Was Real Good About It. Instead Of Getting Mad They Joked About It.

I Always Loved The Game, But When My Legs Weren't Hurting It Was A Lot Easier To Love.

After I Hit A Home Run I Had A Habit Of Running The Bases With My Head Down. I Figured The Pitcher Already Felt Bad Enough Without Me Showing Him Up Rounding The Bases.

The Best Team I Ever Saw, And I Really Mean This, Was The '61 Yankees.
