The First Thing Baseball Wants To Do

I Don't See Pitches Down The Middle Anymore - Not Even In Batting Practice.

I Would Like People Not To Think In Terms Of The 755 Home Runs I Hit But Think In Terms Of What I've Accomplished Off The Field And Some Of The Things I Stood For.

I Used To Love To Come To The Ballpark. Now I Hate It. Every Day Becomes A Little Tougher Because Of All This. Writers, Tape Recorders, Microphones, Cameras, Questions And More Questions. Roger Maris Lost His Hair The Season He Hit Sixty-one. I Still Have All My Hair, But When It's Over, I'm Going Home To Mobile And Fish For A Long Time.

Looking At The Ball Going Over The Fence Isn't Going To Help.

I Thought My Chances To Make The Braves Were Better And That They Were Being Fairer To Me, Paying Me More Money To Play In A Lower Classification ... Besides, The Giants Spelled My Name "arron" On Their Telegram.
