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

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.

He who has the fastest golf cart never has a bad lie.

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

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.

I expected him to say, 'Hang in there' or something like that. It took me an hour to talk him into giving me another chance!

As far as he knew, I was dying.
