Sometimes I sit in my den at home and read stories about myself. Kids used to save whole scrapbooks on me. They get tired of them and mail them to me. I'll go in there and read them, and you know what? They might as well be about (Stan) Musial and (Joe) DiMaggio, it's like reading about somebody else.

His fielding leaves you wondering. Then he steps up to hit and all doubts start to fade.

After a play in the field Casey would turn (to the players on the bench) and say 'What did he do wrong?' or 'You're better than that guy.' Either way, he'd keep them from getting stale.

No man in the history of baseball had as much power as . No man.

Of course, I didn't tell you about all the times I said I was going to hit one and it didn't happen.

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

If you want to know who was better, me or Willie Mays, you have to look at our career stats. And Willie's bottom line was better.
