I Didn't Play The Game Right Because

I Had To Prepare Physically Every Day, And I Didn't Leave Many Scraps For The Writers

I Didn't Play The Game Right Because I Saw A Reward At The End Of The Tunnel.

In My Day, If A Guy Came To Spring Training 20 Pounds Heavier Than What He Left, He Was Considered Out Of Shape And Was Probably In Trouble.

I Struggled Many Times When Maybe It Didn't Look Like I Was Struggling, And I Had To Work Hard Every Day.

I Was Taught Coming Up In The Phillies Organization To Be Seen And Not Heard By People Like Pete Rose, My Hero Growing Up, And Players Like Mike Schmidt And Steve Carlton And Manny Trillo.
