All I can tell them is pick a good one and sock it. I get back to the dugout and they ask me what it was I hit and I tell them I don't know except it looked good.

Yesterday's home runs don't win today's games.

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.

If you want to hit home runs, you've go to swing a lot.

Life is a game like any other; we just don't take it as seriously.

Don't let the fear of striking out hold you back.

Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world.
