My Advice to Youngsters by Gil McDougald
"My advice to youngsters is to get out to your playground as often as possible and learn how to hit the ball as well as to catch ground balls and fly balls. And even if you never reach the major leagues, playing baseball will build a strong body, [and] teach you sportsmanship and fair play, both of which build good citizens."
-1955 Bowman No. 9
