It's unbelievable how much you don't know about the game you've been playing all your life.

I hated to bat against Drysdale. After he hit you he'd come around, look at the bruise on your arm and say, 'Do you want me to sign it?'

I wanted to throw my glass at the TV.

He can run, steal bases, throw, hit for average, and hit with power like I've never seen. Just don't put him at shortstop.

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

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.

To get a better piece of chicken, you'd have to be a rooster.
