Ethnic prejudice has no place in sports, and baseball must recognize that truth if it is to maintain stature as a national game.

If things don't come easy, there is no premium on effort. There should be joy in the chase, zest in the pursuit.

We win if the world is convinced of two things, that you are a fine gentleman, and a great baseball player.

Problems are the price you pay for progress.

Don't worry about your individual numbers. Worry about the team. If the team is successful, each of you will be successful, too.

A full mind is an empty bat.

First of all, a man, whether seeking achievement on the athletic field or in business, must want to win. He must feel that the thing he is doing is worthwhile; so worthwhile that he is willing to pay the price of success to attain distinction.
