Left-handers have more enthusiasm for life. They sleep on the wrong side of the bed, and their head gets more stagnant on that side.

I never saw a player who had greater promise.

Bobby Brown reminds me of a fellow who's been hitting for 12 years and fielding one.

The best ballplayer's the one who doesn't think he made good. He keeps trying to convince you.

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

You have to have a catcher because if you don't you're likely to have a lot of passed balls.
