Bravery is a complicated thing to describe. You can't say it's three feet long and two feet wide and that it weighs four hundred pounds or that it's colored bright blue or that it sounds like a piano or that it smells like roses. It's a quality, not a thing.

Don't do as I did. I'm living proof of how not to live.

If I had played my career hitting singles like Pete (Rose), I'd wear a dress.

When I hit a home run I usually didn't care where it went. So long as it was a home run was all that mattered.

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

To play 18 years in Yankee Stadium is the best thing that could ever happen to a ballplayer.

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.
