When I hit a home run I usually didn't care where it went. So long as it was a home run was all that mattered.

When I first came to Yankee Stadium I used to feel like the ghosts of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig were walking around in there.

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

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

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

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.

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.
