I was so keen to get back to sea. I was rattled.

I didn't take many penalties, but I never missed one.

I'd often wondered what would I do if I were ever traded, because it happened many, many times.

I won twenty-eight games in thirty-five and I couldn't believe my eyes when the Cards sent me a contract with a cut in salary. Mr Rickey said I deserved a cut because I didn't win thirty games.

It so happened that I was on a German sailing vessel on the way to Australia when the ship was captured, and on the high seas I was made prisoner by the French.

One time they traded me for seven horses. Seven stunt horses.

It was a fair decision, the penalty, even though it was debatable whether it was inside or outside the box.

I'm a trader. Under the right circumstances, I'd consider a new boat. I'm not ruling it out.

To tell you the truth, I thought I would be returning kicks and punts my whole career. I thought that was going to be my deal, and I was fine with that.
