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.

Well, baseball was my whole life. Nothing's ever been as fun as baseball.

I wanted to throw my glass at the TV.

I don't care what the situation was, how high the stakes were - the bases could be loaded and the pennant riding on every pitch, it never bothered Whitey. He pitched his game. Cool. Craft. Nerves of steel.

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

All I have is natural ability.

After they remodeled Yankee Stadium I didn't feel that the ghosts were there anymore. It just wasn't the same.
