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

I copied (Shoeless Joe) Jackson's style because I thought he was the greatest hitter I had ever seen, the greatest natural hitter I ever saw. He's the guy who made me a hitter.

If I'd just tried for them dinky singles I could've batted around .600.

I'll promise to go easier on drinking and to get to bed earlier, but not for you, fifty thousand dollars, or two-hundred and fifty thousand dollars will I give up women. They're too much fun.

I'm only going one way.

What the hell has (Herbert) Hoover got to do with it? Anyway, I had a better year than he did.

The termites have got me.
