Billy copied Casey to a 'T.'

I always loved the game, but when my legs weren't hurting it was a lot easier to love.

Thank God for baseball.

If I had played my career hitting singles like Pete (Rose), I'd wear a dress.

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

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

During my 18 years I came to bat almost 10,000 times. I struck out about 1,700 times and walked maybe 1,800 times. You figure a ballplayer will average about 500 at-bats a season. That means I played 7 years without ever hitting the ball.
