I get out there once in a while. I don't want to be the old guy who sits in the corner, and everyone wonders what he's doing there.

When I went to Brooklyn in 1948 Jackie Robinson was at the height of his brilliant career.

A tall, thin old man waving a scorecard from the corner of his dugout. That's baseball.

I think God always has the best for us.

Baseball is the president tossing out the first ball of the season. And a scrubby schoolboy playing catch with his dad on a Mississippi farm.

Whatever happens, I'm ready to face it.
