I'd get me a bunch of bats and balls and sneak me a couple of umpires and learn them kids behind the Iron Curtain how to tote a bat and play baseball.

Fans, don't fail to miss tomorrow's game.

All ballplayers want to wind up their careers with the Cubs, Giants or Yankees. They just can't help it.

I was blessed with a strong arm and a weak mind.

I ain't what I used to be, but who the hell is?

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.

The good Lord was good to me. He gave me a strong body, a good right arm, and a weak mind.
