Billy (Martin) was a great one for jokes. He liked to play a joke more than anyone I ever knew.

Every time I see his name (Dean Chance) on a lineup card, I feel like throwing up.

Watch the old man. Watch how the old man keeps the guys who aren't playing happy.

I never saw him fight. I never saw Billy fight.

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 always loved the game, but when my legs weren't hurting it was a lot easier to love.

If I were playing today I'd do what Joe DiMaggio said. I'd go knock on the door at Yankee Stadium and when George Steinbrenner answered I'd say, 'Howdy, pardner.'
