Mr. Rickey, I'll put more people in the park than anybody since Babe Ruth.

A lot of folks that ain't saying 'ain't,' ain't eating.

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.

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

If Satch (Paige) and I were pitching on the same team, we would clinch the pennant by July fourth and go fishing until World Series time.

Why, they shot the wrong McKinley!

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.
