Every year we've gone out (to California), it's just a battle to score runs. We practice in the morning for a couple hours, play a game and then if we need to, practice again. It's like two-a-days for football. When we come back, we should know what we're going to do.
I don't want to take anything away from Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle. They're both great hitters, but they're batting against guys they never would have seen in previous years.
If I could run like Mantle I'd hit .400 every year!
If I was being paid thirty-thousand dollars a year, the very least I could do was hit .400.
It's a funny thing, but, as years go by, I think you appreciate more and more what a great thing it was to be a United States Marine... People will tell me what a shame it was I had to go back into the service a second time, but I'm kinda glad I did.. Besides, I am a U.S. Marine and I'll be one till I die.
We believe strongly if it was a white person who had been shot in that county, (the shooter) would have been prosecuted.
We've not been on the field yet. We haven't been able to take ground balls.
Mississippi State had him as their No. 1 recruit, but midway through the summer I started getting vibes that they wanted him to go to a prep school and then they would sign him. I said no way we could do that. This kid is already qualified with an excellent future in front of him. I felt that was not in his best interest.
Sitting at the rich table made me feel a little bit bad, but I was comfortable where I was; I didn't want to switch. I wanted to be able to eat a real dinner. I felt guilty, but I didn't want to be sitting there eating just rice, either.
We're appealing to the public to help us to hammer home the message that this tax is not supported by the public or businesses.
Stacey has started to hit the ball, which helps her defensively as well, so she's not carrying that back to the field. Karen is throwing well and is taking that senior leadership role. She tells the girls she's going to get the ground ball, so they have to back her up.
I feel like it's the best gift I could've given my kids, to come down here.
Happy Birthday Tommy. We had one for you. Mickey Mantle.
Kids get separated from their parents all the time. Had his parents paid attention, this little child would not have wandered off.
