Anybody with ability can play in the big leagues. But to be able to trick people year in and year out the way I did, I think that was a much greater feat. ↗

I could have played another year, but I would have been playing for the money, and baseball deserves better than that. ↗

Any teammate of mine that had a kid and a boy that was capable of playing baseball, I think I set a terrific example of 'Don't do this' and 'Don't do that.' And that's one of the things that I'm most proud of. ↗

I didn't get a lot of awards as a player. But they did have a Bob Uecker Day Off for me once in Philly. ↗

I had been playing for a while, and I asked Louisville Slugger to send me a dozen flame treated bats. But when I got it, I realized they had sent me a box of ashes. ↗

A lot of the songs start with an image. I was sitting there playing the guitar and I pictured this old, dirty green car, with the window rolled down, in the hot, hot, hot Texas heat, and this beautiful woman I knew when I was a kid sitting behind the wheel, looking out at me. ↗

You're just playing, playing, playing, and then an image or something will come into your mind, and basically you're just narrating it with music, letting it move along. ↗

As far as the lack of hits goes, I think perhaps it's because I've played a lot of different roles and have not created a persona that the public can latch on to. I have played everything from psychopathic killers to romantic leading men, and in picking such diverse roles I have avoided typecasting. ↗

In 1962 I was named Minor League Player of the Year. It was my second season in the bigs. ↗
