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

I only have one superstition: I make sure to touch all the bases when I hit a home run.

"I'm going over the valley." (Dying from throat cancer, his doctor found him wandering around his room, asked him where was he going?)

I said I'm going to hit the next one right over the flagpole. God must have been with me.

Heroes get remembered, but legends never die.

(Ty) Cobb is a prick. But he sure can hit. God Almighty, that man can hit.

How to hit home runs: I swing as hard as I can, and I try to swing right through the ball... The harder you grip the bat, the more you can swing it through the ball, and the farther the ball will go. I swing big, with everything I've got. I hit big or I miss big. I like to live as big as I can.
