You ought to run the hardest when you feel the worst. Never let the other guy know you're down.

It's great to be young and be a Yankee!

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.

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

The test of an outfielder's skill comes when he has to go against the fence to make a catch.

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.

Just two words: a masterpiece.
