The fourth major league game I ever saw in person, I was in uniform.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My major league debut came at old Busch Stadium on Grand Avenue in St. Louis against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
That's what every young kid thinks about when they first put on a uniform - is to play in the Major League and then, ultimately, play in a World Series. To me, that was the ultimate, winning in '86.
I played outfield in high school a little bit.
Whenever we had career day at elementary school, and we could dress up like what you wanted to be, when I got on stage, mine was playing major league baseball.
In 1962 I was named Minor League Player of the Year. It was my second season in the bigs.
I played baseball in college but I didn't identify with the jocks, I was in my own little world .
I was truly honored to be a part of that game, to be playing the 50th Super Bowl.
In baseball, you pack your uniform in the clubhouse after a ball game, and you see it hanging up in your locker when you get to your next city.
When I came up to bat with three men on and two outs in the ninth, I looked in the other team's dugout and they were already in street clothes.
I'm in the major league now.
