"You can talk about teamwork on a baseball team, but I'll tell you, it takes teamwork when you have 2..." — Bob Feller

I try to be a good human being and keep up with what's going on in the world by reading and staying in touch with the current events.

I spent 34 months on the battleship Alabama, South Dakota-class. I was a gun captain. First we went to Russia for about 11 months with the British convoys. Then we were up in Norway and Scandinavia.

I did what any American could and should do: serve his country in its time of need.

My father kept me busy from dawn to dusk when I was a kid. When I wasn't pitching hay, hauling corn or running a tractor, I was heaving a baseball into his mitt behind the barn... If all the parents in the country followed his rule, juvenile delinquency would be cut in half in a year's time.
