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.

All I had was natural ability.

If I were playing today I'd do what Joe DiMaggio said. I'd go knock on the door at Yankee Stadium and when George Steinbrenner answered I'd say, 'Howdy, pardner.'

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.

Because the players knew that if Billy asked them to jump off a roof, he'd jump off with them.

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

To get a better piece of chicken, you'd have to be a rooster.
