If the World Series was on the line and I could pick one pitcher to pitch the game, I'd choose Whitey Ford every time.

If I hadn't met those two guys (Billy Martin and Whitey Ford) at the start of my career, I would have lasted another five years.

When I'm hitting, I'd play for nothing. When I'm not, any kind of money I receive makes me feel as if I'm stealing.

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

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 think the best all-round baseball player ever was Joe DiMaggio.

He foresaw the platooning that managers like Casey Stengel used years before it happened. He told me I had to be a switch-hitter if I was going to play.
