This year I'd rather lead the league in home runs, runs batted in and hitting.

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

When I hit a home run I usually didn't care where it went. So long as it was a home run was all that mattered.

A body came flying out and landed at my feet. At first I thought it was Billy so I picked him up. But when I saw it wasn't I dropped him back down.

Not after all the time my dad spent teaching me to switch-hit.

I hated to bat against Drysdale. After he hit you he'd come around, look at the bruise on your arm and say, 'Do you want me to sign it?'

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.
