I never keep a scorecard or the batting averages. I hate statistics. What I got to know, I keep in my head.

The Cards had one pitcher who won fourteen straight games in a period of twenty-four days. Then when he lost his fifteenth game 1-0, his manager fined him fifty bucks.

It ain't braggin' if you really done it.

The doctors x-rayed my head and found nothing.

Let the teachers teach English and I will teach baseball. There is a lot of people in the United States who say isn't, and they ain't eating.

I know who's the best pitcher I ever see and it's old Satchel Paige, that big lanky colored boy. My fastball looks like a change of pace alongside that little pistol bullet ole Satchel (Paige) shoots up to the plate.

Let the teachers learn the kids English. Ol' Diz will learn the kids baseball.
