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.

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

I wanted to throw my glass at the TV.

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.

There are two kinds of people. There are leaders and there are followers. And I'm a follower.

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

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