To cure a batting slump, I took my bat to bed with me. I wanted to know my bat a little better.
I'm flattered that so many baseball people think I'm a Hall of Famer. But what's hard to believe is how one-hundred and fifty plus people have changed their minds about me since I became eligible, because I haven't had a base hit since then.
I wish I'd known early what I had to learn late.
