A person always doing his or her best becomes a natural leader, just by example.

I think there are some players born to play ball.

I played my best everyday. You never know when someone may be seeing you play for the first time.

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

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.

There’s nobody taking center from me until I give it up.
