Someone once said, "There's no crying in baseball." But the tears were flowing in abundance today at the Hall of Fame induction of baseball great Woody Trease. They were tears of joy.

The superstar hurler got quite emotional at times during his speech as he retraced his journey from humble beginnings to the pinnacle of success in the baseball world.

He told the audience, "The greatest feeling in the world is to win a major league game. The second greatest feeling is to lose a major league game. For someone who truly loved playing baseball, I couldn't really lose either way. Just to be on a baseball diamond is a wonderful feeling. Life just doesn't get any better than that. I will really miss it."

Baseball newest legend ended his career at age 32 with 325 wins and 185 defeats and compiled a 2.24 ERA. Trease made 543 appearances and struck out 2407 in 4606.1 innings. Teams hit a composite .234 against him.
