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.

People have asked me a lot of times, because I didn't hit a lot, how long a dozen bats would last me. Depending on the weight and model I was using at that time - I would say eight to 10 cookouts.

Career highlights? I had two - I got an intentional walk from Sandy Koufax and I got out of a rundown against the Mets.

come on Joe, just send him in so we can get our bats cranking!

You know, I was once named Minor League Player of the Year... unfortunately, I had been in the majors for two years at the time.

I had a great shoe contract and glove contract with a company who paid me a lot of money never to be seen using their stuff.
