#spring training

I hate the cursed Oriole fundamentals... I've been doing them since 1964. I do them in my sleep. I hate spring training. ↗

I had only played five games in my senior year in high school. I was not large enough. Hell, when I graduated, I was about five foot four and weighed 120 pounds. I didn't go with the Dodgers until spring training of 1940 and I weighed all of 155 pounds soaking wet. ↗

The last two times I went to spring training, I had to win a job, and if I didn't get off to a blazing start, I'm on the bench. Now, I've proven myself, so it's not essential that I get off to a real good start. ↗

I come to spring training and just try to do my job, try to do the best I can. That's all any player can do. ↗

The Florida State League was considered the top A-league back then. You played in the spring training parks of major league teams, traveled throughout some great cities in Florida, and the pay was the best in A-ball. ↗

For some reason in Spring Training, everything just clicked. You don't try to do anything in Spring Training but get ready, but things fell into place. ↗

It all comes down to when spring training comes. Do you want to go or don't you? If you want to go, you go. ↗

If I don't make the team out of spring training, I'll keep a good attitude. I'll just go polish up the parts of my game that made me not stay in the big leagues. ↗

None of the teams that actually probably were offering me a job from the getgo, actually in spring training, are in the playoffs right now. ↗

I've kind of looked at my whole career as a spring training invite. ↗
