When you're young you don't think very far ahead. You just think in terms of the next day the next week the next competition. You don't think about injuries that could threaten your long-term health.
In 1950 when the Giants signed me they gave me $15 000. I bought a 1950 Mercury. I couldn't drive but I had it in the parking lot there and everybody that could drive would drive the car. So it was like a community thing.
