I have been walking on ball fields for 16 years, and I've never received anything but kindness and encouragement from you fans. I have had the great honor to have played with these great veteran ballplayers on my left -- Murderers Row, our championship team of 1927.
I have had the further honor of living with and playing with these men on my right -- the Bronx Bombers, the Yankees of today.
I have been given fame and undeserved praise by the boys up there behind the wire in the press box -- my friends, the sports writers. I have worked under the two greatest managers of all time, Miller Huggins and Joe McCarthy.
I have a mother and father who fought to give me health and a solid background in my youth.
I have a wife, a companion for life, who has shown me more courage than I ever knew.
People all say that I've had a bad break. But today -- today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth.
