Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world.
Who is richer? The man who is seen, but cannot see? Or the man who is not being seen, but can see?
I'd play for half my salary if I could hit in this dump (Wrigley Field) all the time.
Each strikeout brings me closer to my next homerun.
If it wasn't for baseball, I'd be in either the penitentiary or the cemetery.
What I am, what I have, what I am going to leave behind me - all this I owe to the game of baseball.
