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.

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.

Me and Paul (Dean) will probably win forty games (they won forty-nine).

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

I only went to the third grade because my father only went to the fourth and I didn't want to pass him.

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

Practice, work hard and give it everything you've got.
