I hit a grand slam off Ron Herbel and when his manager Herman Franks came out to get him, he was bringing Herbel's suitcase.
From Bob Uecker
I think my top salary was maybe in 1966. I made $17,000 and 11 of that came from selling other players' equipment.
Any teammate of mine that had a kid and a boy that was capable of playing baseball, I think I set a terrific example of 'Don't do this' and 'Don't do that.' And that's one of the things that I'm most proud of.
Not bragging by any means, but I could have done a lot of other stuff as far as working in films go and working in television... I had chances to do that stuff, but I like baseball, I really do.
After getting out of the service and going into baseball I never wanted to do anything else.
I was acting when I was playing baseball.
