The strain on Roger (Maris) was unbelievable. After I dropped out the reporters only had one guy to go to. They surrounded him everywhere he went. He had big clumps of hair falling out. That he went ahead and did it was unbelievable.

After a play in the field Casey would turn (to the players on the bench) and say 'What did he do wrong?' or 'You're better than that guy.' Either way, he'd keep them from getting stale.

Watch the old man. Watch how the old man keeps the guys who aren't playing happy.

When I first came to Yankee Stadium I used to feel like the ghosts of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig were walking around in there.

Of course, I didn't tell you about all the times I said I was going to hit one and it didn't happen.

I guess you could say I'm what this country is all about.

A team is where a boy can prove his courage on his own. A gang is where a coward goes to hide.
