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.

Heroes are people who are all good with no bad in them. That's the way I always saw Joe DiMaggio. He was beyond question one of the greatest players of the century.

I never got to see the '27 Yankees. Everyone says that was the greatest team ever. But I think it would've been a great series if we'd have had the chance to play them.

To play 18 years in Yankee Stadium is the best thing that could ever happen to a ballplayer.

When I'm hitting, I'd play for nothing. When I'm not, any kind of money I receive makes me feel as if I'm stealing.

Every time I see his name (Dean Chance) on a lineup card, I feel like throwing up.

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