"I guess you could say I never understood baseball trades. In 1963, I hit 42 home runs for the Red Sox and drove in 118 runs. Youd call that a pretty good year, wouldnt you? Next year, Im down to 33 homers and 114 RBIs. In other words, youre looking at 75 home runs in two seasons. Are the Red Sox happy? Not so youd notice. They trade me to the Phils. Boston was a crazy place. Now, with those good statistics, I tell the Phils Im entitled to a healthy raise. You know what they tell me? They say I still havent done anything for them. I did get a raise, though."
