Today's Little Leaguers, and there are millions of them each year, pick up how to hit and throw and field just by watching games on TV. By the time they're out of high school, the good ones are almost ready to play professional ball.

Billy (Martin) wasn't afraid of anything.

Roger Maris was as good a man and as good a ballplayer as there ever was.

The greatest thing I ever saw was Roger Maris breaking Babe Ruth's record.

The biggest thrill I ever had was in 1969, when they held day at Yankee Stadium.

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.
