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.

Hey man! Get away from me!

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

It was all I lived for, to play baseball.

People say Yogi (Berra) is a strange guy, and I've heard Yogi say some funny things. But he has a beautiful wife, he's rich, and he's famous. I don't see anything strange about that.

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.

Not after all the time my dad spent teaching me to switch-hit.
