Never wear a backward baseball cap to an interview unless applying for the job of umpire.

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.

Do you realize how good you have to be to strike out 2000 times?

Most ball games are lost, not won.

I never saw anyone like Ty Cobb. No one even close to him as the greatest all-time ballplayer. That guy was superhuman, amazing.

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.

They say some of my stars drink whiskey, but I have found that ones who drink milkshakes don't win many ball games.
