My favorite period is World War II, and I'm in the middle of writing my fourth novel set in that era.
I got that nickname my first spring training camp with the Expos in 1974. Tim Foli, Ken Singleton and Mike Jorgensen started calling me 'Kid' because I was trying to win every sprint. I was trying to hit every pitch out of the park.
If I was a Greek citizen I'd be out there trying to bring down this monstrosity that has been put upon those people.
