If you keep thinking about what you want to do or what you hope will happen, you don't do it, and it won't happen.

I always thought there was at least one person in the stands who had never seen me play, and I didn't want to let him down.

I thought he had been shot.

There is always some kid who may be seeing me for the first time. I owe him my best.

I'm proud to have been a Yankee. But I have found more happiness and contentment since I came back home to San Francisco than any man has a right to deserve. This is the friendliest city in the world.

After I got that hit off Satchel (Paige), I knew I was ready for the big leagues.

I feel like I have reached the stage where I can no longer produce for my club, my manager, and my teammates.
