During My 18 Years I Came To Bat Almost 10,000 Times. I Struck Out About 1,700 Times And Walked Maybe 1,800 Times. You Figure A Ballplayer Will Average About 500 At-bats A Season. That Means I Played 7 Years Without Ever Hitting The Ball.

The Biggest Thrill I Ever Had Was In 1969, When They Held Day At Yankee Stadium.
