We've got to learn how to stay out of triple plays.

He (Mickey Mantle) should lead the league in everything. With his combination of speed and power he should win the triple batting crown every year. In fact, he should do anything he wants to do.

Mantle had more ability than any player I ever had on that club.

All that analysis is well and good, but what I need right now is a left-handed batter who can hit the ball over the shortstop's head.

He (Lyndon B. Johnson) wanted to see poverty, so he came to see my team (1964 New York Mets).

No baseball pitcher would be worth a darn without a catcher who could handle the hot fastball.

The trouble with women umpires is that I couldn't argue with one. I'd put my arms around her and give her a little kiss.
