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

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.

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

He (Bill Terry) once hit a ball between my legs so hard that my center-fielder caught it on the fly backing up against the wall.

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

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 ain't what I used to be, but who the hell is?
