The way to get a ball past (Honus) Wagner is to hit it eight feet over his head.

There is but one game and that game is baseball.

Sportsmanship and easygoing methods are all right, but it is the prospect of a hot fight that brings out the crowds.

He (Honus Wagner) was the nearest thing to a perfect player no matter where his manager chose to play him.

No club that wins a pennant once is an outstanding club. One which bunches two pennants is a good club. But a team which can win three in a row really achieves greatness.

In playing or managing, the game of ball is only fun for me when I'm out in front and winning. I don't give a hill of beans for the rest of the game.
