My first Major League game I pitched in Fenway Park in Boston. Johnny Pesky was the leadoff hitter. On my first pitch he singled. Bobby Doerr, the second hitter, hit my first pitch for a double. Ted Williams, the third hitter, hit the first pitch I threw to him for a double. Steve O'Neil, the manager for us, called time, meeting me and our catcher, Bob Swift at the mound. Steve never spoke to me. He said to Bob, "Say Bob, doesn't Virgil have it today?" And Bob answered, "How the hell do I know? I haven't caught a pitch yet."

A hustlin' ballplayer is a feller who never lets up for a minute, never gives his body a rest from trying. He's out there every second of the time playing as hard as he can, no matter how many runs he's ahead. He don' know what it means to take it easy and loaf along. He's ALWAYS working. Lou Gehrig was the hustlin'est ballplayer I ever saw, and I admired him for it. When I first saw him break into the lineup, as a rookie, I went and told him just that.
