They broke it to me gently. The manager came up to me before a game and told me they didn't allow visitors in the clubhouse.

I knew when my career was over. In 1965 my baseball card came out with no picture.

People don't know this, but I helped the Cardinals win the pennant. I came down with hepatitis. The trainer injected me with it!
