I name (Honus) Wagner first on my list, not only because he was a great batting champion and base-runner, and also baseball's foremost shortstop, but because Honus (Wagner) could have been first at any other position, with the possible exception of pitcher. In all my career, I never saw such a versatile player.

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

The team that gets off to a good start wins pennants.

(Bill) Terry, you can ask for more money in the winter and do less in the summer than any ballplayer I know.

The main idea is to win.

I think we can win it if my brain holds out.

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