Zitat des Tages über Ballspieler / Ball Player:
To be a big league ball player, you have to love the game.
I am a ball player in the summer and a farmer in the winter time, and I aim to be a success at both professions.
But I was so wrapped up in sports growing up as a kid, that I think I was going to grow to be a pro ball player. But I found out real quick that was not going to happen.
I wanted to definitely be a musician or a good preacher or a heck of a baseball player. I couldn't play ball too good - I hurt my finger, and I stopped that. I couldn't preach, and well, all I had left was getting into the music thing.
I was not successful as a ball player, as it was a game of skill.
A ball player has to be kept hungry to become a big leaguer. That's why no boy from a rich family has ever made the big leagues.
I started playing ball when I was a kid. My dad was a pro ball player and he passed on his knowledge to me.
If I would be happy, I would be a very bad ball player. With me, when I get mad, it puts energy in my body.
I was not able to understand how it could be right to pay an actor, or a singer, or an instrumentalist for entertaining the public and wrong to pay a ball player for doing exactly the same thing.
