“One reason is the associations we develop with our fellow Senators. One of the things I haven't had a chance to say publicly, or even privately, to the Senator from Kentucky is how much I enjoy serving with him. As a boy, I used to listen to baseball games--no television; we used to listen to the games. Of course, Jim Bunning was one of the people who pitched those great ball games. Then, of course, I watched him do all the great things he did later on. And now, to serve in the Senate with a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame, for somebody who wanted to be a baseball player--that was what I wanted to be until I found out I wasn't good enough--is really one of the pleasures of my life--to say I served with somebody who is in the Baseball Hall of Fame.”
