Hell, Lou (Gehrig) it took fifteen years to get you out of a game. Sometimes I'm out in fifteen minutes.

We lost 14 straight. Then we had a game rained out and it felt so good we had a victory dinner.

I'm something like the old soak who never knew whether his wife told him to take one drink and come home at 12, or take 12 and come home at one.

You just can't imagine the kind of guy he was without seeing him play. He was a circus, a play, a movie, all rolled into one.

I'd rather be lucky than good

I talked to the ball a lot of times in my career. I yelled, "Go foul. Go foul."

He's in a rut. Gehringer goes two for five on opening day and stays that way all season.
