I eventually became proud of my strikeouts, because each one represented another learning experience.

My first job after my retirement from baseball was as a narrator for the Eastman Philharmonica.

I would always reserve a special place in my heart for Pittsburgh.

The Giants were a good team, but our biggest enemy was said to be Candlestick Park.

I grew up in a house that was always happy, and my family was always music, music. I started playing percussion very young, because I had some uncles who were musicians and all my aunts were singers.

Perhaps the greatest social service that can be rendered by anybody to the country and to mankind is to bring up a family.

For me, nothing has ever taken precedence over being a mother and having a family and a home.

It is important for me to carve out time in my schedule to spend quality time with my family.
