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

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.

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.

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.

The main idea is to win.

One small breeze doesn't make a wind storm.
