I was never nervous when I had the ball, but when I let go I was scared to death.
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 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.
I couldn't speak enough Spanish. I couldn't make myself understood on that club.
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.
