Roger Maris lost his hair the season he hit sixty-one, I still have all my hair, but when it's over, I'm going home to Mobile and fish for a long time.

I came to the Braves on business, and I intended to see that business was good as long as I could.

The thing I like about baseball is that it's one-on-one. You stand up there alone, and if you make a mistake, it's your mistake. If you hit a home run, it's your home run.

You can only milk a cow so long, then you're left holding the pail.

Failure will never stand int he way of success if you learn from it.

Making the majors is not as hard as staying there, staying interested day after day. It's like being married. The hardest part is to stay married.

I have always felt that although someone may defeat me, and I strike out in a ball game, the pitcher on the particular day was the best player. But I know when I see him again, I'm going to be ready for his curve ball. Failure is a part of success.
