I'm now the hitting the instructor with the Cleveland Indians.
I learned life from some good teachers.
Today I join the greatest players that played the game. It is a great feeling being here.
And, you know, you try and preach to them there's more to this game than just walking up to home plate, swinging the bat, fielding a ground ball. There's some dedication in it, some love you've got to put into this work.
And like I said, I appreciate my older brothers because they would not allow me to win. They made me learn to play with them, which I think is the most important thing that I learned.
I don't wish I did anything differently. The most important thing to me was to play baseball.
Baseball is a team game.
When Ted Williams was here, inducted into the Hall of Fame 37 years ago, he said he must have earned it, because he didn't win it because of his friendship with the writers. I guess in that way, I'm proud to be in this company that way.
