You don't realize how easy this game is until you get up in that broadcasting booth.

It was all I lived for, to play baseball.

Sometimes I think if I had the same body and the same natural ability and someone else's brain, who knows how good a player I might have been.

I've often wondered how a man who knew he was going to die could stand here and say he was the luckiest man on the face of the earth, but now I guess I know how he felt.

You might as well go in and start getting dressed. I'm going to hit his first pitch for a home run.

Before you go, would you sign that case of balls for me?

In 1961 somebody could've hit a home run to win the game and the next day the headline was about the M&M boys not hitting a home run. But everyone was real good about it. Instead of getting mad they joked about it.
