No one wants to lose, period. It should hurt, it should sting, and you don't want to feel that feeling again.
I think my top salary was maybe in 1966. I made $17,000 and 11 of that came from selling other players' equipment.
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.
I had a. 200 lifetime batting average in the major leagues, which tied me with another sports great averaging 200 or better for a ten-year period: Don Carter, one of our top bowlers.
I spent three of the best years of my life in 10th grade.
My kids used to do things to aggravate me, too. I'd take them to a game, and they'd want to come home with a different player.
Anyone with talent can play in the Major Leagues; for someone like me to stay around as long as I did, I think that's a much greater acheivement.
Justice is my being allowed to do whatever I like. Injustice is whatever prevents my doing so.
If I can sit down for freedom, you can stand up for children.
Never take no from somebody who cannot say yes.
Modern man may assert that he can dispense with them, and he may bolster his opinion by insisting that there is no scientific evidence of their truth. But since we are dealing with invisible and unknowable things (for God is beyond human understanding, and there is no mean of proving immortality), why should we bother with evidence?
