You Can't Get Real Happy Or Real

You Can't Get Real Happy Or Real Depressed When You Play Baseball. Baseball Is A Great Sport In That It Offers A Player A Lot Of Opportunities For Atonement.

I Found It Hugely Insulting That People Believed I'd Go So Far Out Of My Way - Living With Playmates, Vacationing With Actresses, Showing Up At Nightclubs - To Act Out A Lifestyle That Would Amount To A Charade. If I Was Gay, I'd Be Gay All The Way.

When You're 25, You Can Eat Hamburgers And Pizza And Drink Beer And Stay Out All Night And Come Out The Next Day And Drink A Couple Cups Of Coffee And Just Play. If I Did That Today, My Heart Would Stop And I'd Need A Stretcher And An Iv.

I Was A Last Round Draft Pick. Nobody Wanted Me. I Could Count The Amount Of Scouts That Told Me To Go To School, To Forget Baseball.

It's Easy For Me Not To Go To Mass On The Road. But I've Made A Fundamental Decision. I'm Going To Be Dedicated. I'm Going To Make The Time. I'm Going To Get Up, If That Means Getting Up At Seven On A Sunday Morning Before A Day Game And Do It, I'm Going To Do It.
