I've always been a slave to my heart.

Some suggestions for you :

There's nothing I value more than the closeness of friends and family, a smile as I pass someone on the street.

Baseball for me was instinctive, born within me, given to me as a gift from God.

My first job after my retirement from baseball was as a narrator for the Eastman Philharmonica.

When we make a mistake, it becomes front-page news. We don't need any reporter telling us how badly we played.

That's where the future lies, in the youth of today.

Never was I booed.

I always said that when it was time to retire, I would know it, and I would just tip my hat to the crowds.

I gave out stars whenever an appropriate situation presented itself.

I found myself in a race with Mother Nature to play as much baseball as I could before she forced me to stop.

I was the most powerful left-handed hitter in the Alameda area.

I owe a large part of my success to Joe Brown, who helped me both as a player and a person.

Judgment traps you within the limitations of your comparisons. It inhibits freedom.

I never did allow anything to keep me from my kids. They're the most important part of my life.

Never had I had so many friends and so much fun as I did in the projects.
