If you have a chance to accomplish something that will make things better for people coming behind you, and you don't do that, you are wasting your time on this earth.
I was born to play baseball.
I couldn't ask for better teammates, and the Pirate fans are the greatest in baseball.
I loved the game so much that even though our playing field was muddy and we had many trees on it, I used to play many hours every day.
I wasn't ready for the majors when I joined the Pirates in 1955. I was too young and didn't know my way around.
But some people act like they think I live in the jungle someplace.
