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.

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.

Life comes down to honesty and doing what's right. That's what's most important.

Cooperstown is the greatest place on Earth.

When I pick up the ball and it feels nice and light and small I know I'm going to have a good day. But if I picked it up and it's big and heavy, I know I'm liable to get into a little trouble.

Where the ball went was up to heaven. Sometimes I threw the ball clean up into the stands.

Sympathy is something that shouldn't be bestowed on the Yankees. Apparently it angers them.
