I signed my first big league contract just two hours before opening day for $6,000. It was a lot of pressure on a boy from the farm, but it all worked out great. |
It was a big thrill to play all those years and this ranks right up there. Entering the Expos Hall of Fame was great, but not like this is. I have lived in Kentucky all my life and I am glad to be here. I appreciate it very much, and God bless y'all. |
It was early in the 1983 season and my arm just popped and I couldn't even raise it. The umpire told me that people had said it for eight years that it would happen. A lot of the young players had tears in their eyes, which made me feel bad. I told them I had been there for a long time. |
Just like anyone, I had my good games and bad, but the last four years in Montreal were really enjoyable. |
