Upon being interviewed years after his retirement as a player, [Jim] Bottomley expressed his personal philosophy perfectly: “I don’t have a regret in the world. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a thing. I’ve loved every minute of it.” Why was he nicknamed “Sunny Jim”? Bottomley’s own words said it all. - https://sabr.org/bioproj/person/Jim-Bottomley/
