I think there are some players born to play ball.

If I were sitting down with George Steinbrenner (to discuss a salary) and based on what Dave Winfield got for his statistics, I'd have to say, 'George, you and I are about to become partners.'

In that case Mr. Barrow, Mr. Gehrig is a very underpaid ballplayer.

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'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.

It's got to be better than rooming with Joe Page.

Now this is over thirty years later and the guy said he was that cab driver. He apologized and he was serious. I felt awful. He might have been spending his whole life thinking he had jinxed me, but I told him he hadn't. My number was up.
