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

My views are just about the same as Casey's.

During my 18 years I came to bat almost 10,000 times. I struck out about 1,700 times and walked maybe 1,800 times. You figure a ballplayer will average about 500 at-bats a season. That means I played 7 years without ever hitting the ball.

You might as well go in and start getting dressed. I'm going to hit his first pitch for a home run.

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

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.
