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.

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

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

One rule I had was make your best pitch and back up third base. That relay might get away and you've got another shot at him.

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

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

Only triple I ever got.
