I had only played five games in my senior year in high school. I was not large enough. Hell, when I graduated, I was about five foot four and weighed 120 pounds. I didn't go with the Dodgers until spring training of 1940 and I weighed all of 155 pounds soaking wet.
In the summer of 1990, I was buying stocks and I was probably three or four months early there. But we had a great rally in 1991.
