It puzzles me how they know what corners are good for filling stations. Just how did they know gas and oil was under there?

Son, what kind of pitch would you like to miss?

Anybody who's ever had the privilege of seeing me play knows that I am the greatest pitcher in the world.

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.

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

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.
