Baseball presents a living heritage, a game poised between the powerful undertow of seasons past and the hope of next day, next week, next year. ↗

Finally, for all of us but a lucky few, the dream of playing big-time baseball is relinquished so we can get on with grown-up things. ↗

Hitting a baseball well, as in cricket, is a very rare skill. One of most difficult things to do in the world to do, hitting a ball coming at you at ninety miles an hour with a round bat. Wonderful to watch. ↗

I wanted to definitely be a musician or a good preacher or a heck of a baseball player. I couldn't play ball too good - I hurt my finger, and I stopped that. I couldn't preach, and well, all I had left was getting into the music thing. ↗

In baseball, you can't kill the clock. You've got to give the other man his chance. That's why this is the greatest game. ↗

The key to winning baseball games is pitching, fundamentals, and three run homers. ↗

But I'll tell you this, it started with my mother. I have to give her. God bless her and rest her soul. I had a good foundation at home, so when I was able to go off and do these things in baseball there was always support. ↗

To give you an idea what it feels like to be going in with some of the best baseball players of all-time, I mean it is fantastic. I have to say this about them, there are so many of these guys up here that were my role models, people I looked up to, people I wanted to be like. ↗

To the people out there, baseball is a simple sport. But it is complex. It is never easy. ↗
