I'd rather not throw the ball at all.

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

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

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

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

A lot of things run through your head when you're going in to relieve in a tight spot. One of them was, "Should I spike myself?"

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.
