I didn't mean to hit the umpire with the dirt, but I did mean to hit that bastard in the stands.

They started something here, and the kids are keeping the ball rolling.

I don't give a damn about any actors. What good will John Barrymore do you with the bases loaded and two down in a tight ball game. Either I get the money (more than Barrymore), or I don't play!

All ballplayers should quit when it starts to feel as if all the baselines run uphill.

I'd give a year of my life if I could hit a homerun on opening day of this great new park.

I've heard people say that the trouble with the world is that we haven't enough great leaders. I think we haven't enough great followers. I have stood side by side with great thinkers - surgeons, engineers, economists; people who deserve a great following - and have heard the crowd cheer me instead.

Who is richer? The man who is seen, but cannot see? Or the man who is not being seen, but can see?
