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

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

He (Branch Rickey) must think I went to the Massachesetts Constitution of Technology.

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

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.

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