I would rather beat the Yankees regularly than pitch a no hit game.

Yankee Stadium, it's like everything else in this country. In Europe, they save all their old buildings for history. Here, we just tear them all down.

Nowadays, they have more trouble packing hair dryers than baseball equipment.

I needed to join the Navy. If you ask the people in Europe who won World War II, they don't say the Allies, they say the United States won the war and saved the world.

If you believe your catcher is intelligent and you know that he has considerable experience, it is a good thing to leave the game almost entirely in his hands.

Baseball in the Navy always was much more fun than it had been in the major leagues.

Nobody lives forever and I've had a blessed life.
