And if I have my choice between a pennant and a triple crown, I'll take the pennant every time.

I'm very pleased and very proud of my accomplishments, but I'm most proud of that (hitting four-hundred home runs and three-thousand hits). Not (Ted) Williams, not (Lou) Gehrig, not (Joe) DiMaggio did that. They were Cadillacs and I'm a Chevrolet.

I loved the game - I loved the competition. But I never had any fun. All hard work - all the time.

I never stay away from workouts. I work hard. I've tried to take care of my body. I'll never look back and say that I could have done more. I've paid the price in practice, but I know I get the most out of my ability.

If that guy (Mickey Mantle) were healthy, he'd hit 80 home runs.

You don't always make an out. Sometimes the pitcher gets you out.

I came to love Fenway. It was a place that rejuvenated me after a road trip; the fans right on top of you, the nutty angles. And the Wall. That was my baby, the left-field wall, the Green Monster.
