Perhaps the most difficult thing in the world is putting into words what has been purely an emotion all my adult life. Wearing a Dodger uniform has become almost synonymous with my life. The wonderful association that I've had with all you fellows is something that I'll always cherish. Believe me, with all my heart I wish you all success, for deep within I'm sure I'll always remain a Dodger. Goodbye, and again, good luck-Clem".
