AS: How old are you?

BS: That's the one question I should have told you not to ask me. One time, not too many years ago, Jim Bouton, who used to pitch for the Yankees, was a TV announcer, and he asked if he could interview me. I graciously said yes, and he brought his TV crew up to the press box, and he set them up. He said, "Let's start by asking: 'How old are you, Bob?' And I said, 'What's your next question?' He repeated, 'How old are you, Bob.' And I said, This interview is over.'"

AS: How old do you feel?

BS: 22.
