When you have a wonderful mother-in-law who takes sides with you in squabbles with her own daughter - that's something.

I love to win, but I love to lose almost as much. I love the thrill of victory, and I also love the challenge of defeat.

Fans, for the past two weeks you have been reading about a bad break I got. Yet today, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth.

What are you going to do? Admit to yourself that the pitchers have you on the point of surrender? You can't do that. You must make yourself think that the pitchers are just as good as they always have been or just as bad.

You don t get the breaks unless you play with the team instead of against it.

We were mighty short of infielders in those days
