The only real game, I think, in the world is baseball.

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.

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

The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don't play together, the club won't be worth a dime.

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

I thank heaven we have had baseball in this world... the kids... our national pastime.
