I Played Ball with Whitey Ford---84 Today!

My lifestyle has seen me go to a bed too many nights without food in my belly. Despite the abuse of the wardens during my 18 year jail sentence, I never went to sleep hungry. No, it was simply my refusal to live as others have chosen and I was willing to pay the price. The highs were frequent as well. How can you dismiss a lifestyle where you played basketball with Pistol Pete, baseball with Whitey Ford and Mickey Mantle and shot hoops with Jerry West? The fact is you just don’t.
