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.

The dumber a pitcher is, the better. When he gets smart and begins to experiment with a lot of different pitches, he's in trouble. All I ever had was a fastball, a curve and a changeup and I did pretty good.

Heck, if anybody told me I was setting a record (strikeouts in a game on July 30, 1933) I'd of got me some more strikeouts.

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

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

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

I won twenty-eight games in thirty-five and I couldn't believe my eyes when the Cards sent me a contract with a cut in salary. Mr. Rickey said I deserved a cut because I didn't win thirty games.
