When I was a small boy growing up in Kansas, a friend of mine and I went fishing and as we sat there in the warmth of a summer afternoon on a riverbank we talked about what we wanted to do when we grew up. I told him that I wanted to be a real major-league baseball player, a genuine professional like Honus Wagner. My friend said that he'd like to be President of the United States. Neither of us got our wish.

He's part-time baseball player/basketball player/bowler/ golfer. I don't know about football.

'When I was a little boy, I wanted to be a baseball player and also join the circus. With the Yankees, I've accomplished both.'

If all we had was Boz, he'd be catching. He's just the kind of baseball player that can do it all, so we're real fortunate to have him.

Things could be worse. Suppose your errors were counted and published every day, like those of a baseball player.
