After I hit a home run I had a habit of running the bases with my head down. I figured the pitcher already felt bad enough without me showing him up rounding the bases.

Baseball hasn't been the national pastime for many years now - no sport is. The national pastime, like it or not, is watching television.

It took me seventeen years to get three thousand hits in baseball. I did it in one afternoon on the golf course.

Baseball is like driving, it's the one who gets home safely that counts.
