I think my top salary was maybe in 1966. I made $17,000 and 11 of that came from selling other players' equipment.
Where would I be without baseball? Who am I without baseball?
Any teammate of mine that had a kid and a boy that was capable of playing baseball, I think I set a terrific example of 'Don't do this' and 'Don't do that.' And that's one of the things that I'm most proud of.
We were on for six years. We were in syndication for a while. It had its run. I still see the people from 'Mr. Belvedere,' too. We stay in touch.
I set records that will never be equaled. In fact, I hope 90% of them don't even get printed.
I didn't get a lot of awards as a player. But they did have a Bob Uecker Day Off for me once in Philly.
