I hit a grand slam off Ron Herbel and when his manager Herman Franks came out to get him, he was bringing Herbel's suitcase.

My kids used to do things to aggravate me, too. I'd take them to a game, and they'd want to come home with a different player.

In 1962 I was named Minor League Player of the Year. It was my second season in the bigs.

I did stand-up, weird and ignorant stuff about my career - anything for a laugh.

The way to catch a knuckleball is to wait until it stops rolling and then pick it up.

I set records that will never be equaled. In fact, I hope 90% of them don't even get printed.

I used to soak my mitts in a bucket of water for about two days. Then I'd put a couple of baseballs in the pocket and wrap it up with a rubber band. Today you don't have to do that, because catchers' mitts are more like first baseman's gloves.
