In New York, I have a photo of my parents on their wedding day in 1947. They're beaming at home plate in Houston's Buffalo Stadium. I love the photo because my dad is smiling. He didn't smile much in his later years.
I didn't cost the Series. I cost a game in the regular season.
I have a natural tendency to resist conformity.
Everyone has someone they looked up to. Mine was Mickey Mantle. For Alex Rodriguez to idolize me coming up, that makes me feel very good.
I had great moments. I had not-great moments.
I always got good grades in creative writing from elementary school on up.
