I went through denying it and dating girls. I was almost married. But my mother talked me out of it. She just said, 'I think you're going to have other opportunities.'

There are three ways you can get along with a girl: one, shut up and listen to what she has to say; two, tell her you like what she's wearing; and three, treat her to really good food...If you do all that and still don't get the results you want, better give up.

We tried to come into the second game more focused, and with more intensity. I told the girls we needed to limit the walks and errors.

As they call last orders, he’ll walk over to a girl he’s no doubt slept with before, pour half his pint over his own head and the remainder over hers, and with a twinkle in his eye say, “Looks like you’ve pulled again, doesn’t it?

Our camp was very encouraging. Annie (Pickford) is running as well as ever, but other girls are closing the gap. The league will be very strong, but I think we can compete with any team in it.

I judged my mother much too harshly for her dating life. Being her only child, I wanted her completely to myself.
