In 1960 when Pittsburgh beat us in the World Series, we outscored them 55-27. It was the only time I think the better team lost. I was so disappointed I cried on the plane ride home.

My dad taught me to switch-hit. He and my grandfather, who was left-handed, pitched to me every day after school in the back yard. I batted lefty against my dad and righty against my granddad.

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.

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

You don't have to talk to me about pensions. I won't be around long enough to collect one.

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

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