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.

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.

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

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

Slud is something more than slid. It means sliding with great effort.

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

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.
