Somebody once asked me if I ever went up to the plate trying to hit a home run. I said, 'Sure, every time.'

I never understood how someone who was dying could say he was the luckiest man in the world, but now I understand.

My views are just about the same as Casey's.

No man in the history of baseball had as much power as . No man.

He said to play louder. He can't hear you.

The biggest thrill I ever had was in 1969, when they held day at Yankee Stadium.

He foresaw the platooning that managers like Casey Stengel used years before it happened. He told me I had to be a switch-hitter if I was going to play.
