When I first signed with the Yankees, the regulars wouldn't talk to you until you were with the team three or four years. Nowadays the rookies get $100,000 to sign and they don't talk to the regulars.

I never had a bad night in my life, but I've had a few bad mornings.

If you don't throw it, they can't hit it.

Jimmy Foxx could hit me at midnight with the lights out.

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

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

No one hit home runs the way Babe (Ruth) did. They were something special. They were like homing pigeons. The ball would leave the bat, pause briefly, suddenly gain its bearings, then take off for the stands.
