I played seven years without ever hitting the ball.

Those people don't know how tough that really was.

The only thing I can do is play baseball. I have to play ball. It's the only thing I know.

I don't know why Roger (Maris) isn't in the hall of fame. To me, he was as good as there ever was.

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.

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

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.
