You think the greatest thing in the whole world would be to become a baseball player - if best things already happened, what's next?

The main idea is to win.

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

With my team I am an absolute czar. My men know it. I order plays and they obey. If the don't, I fine them.

The boy's (Hack Wilson) got talent and desire, but he ain't got no neck.

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

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.
