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

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

I was lucky enough to have the talent to play baseball. That's how I treated my career. I didn't think I was anybody special, anybody different.

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

The race doesn't always belong to the swift nor the battle to the strong. It belongs rather to those who run the race, who stay the course and who fight the good fight.
