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

He knew he was Joe DiMaggio, and he knew what that meant to the country.

I was never nervous when I had the ball, but when I let go I was scared to death.

I don't want to throw him nothing. Maybe he'll just get tired of waiting and leave.

I'd rather be lucky than good

I couldn't speak enough Spanish. I couldn't make myself understood on that club.

I want to thank all my teammates who scored so many runs and Joe DiMaggio, who ran down so many of my mistakes.
