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.

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.

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

He (Jimmie Foxx) has muscles in his hair.

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

I had been having trouble with my eyes. One day my glasses fogged up while I was pitching, but when I cleaned them and looked at the plate and saw Foxx clearly, it frightened me so much I never wore them again.

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