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.

Because the players knew that if Billy asked them to jump off a roof, he'd jump off with them.

My biggest regret was letting my lifetime average drop below .300. I always felt I was a .300 hitter, and if I could change one thing that would be it.

I don't know why Roger (Maris) isn't in the hall of fame. To me, he was as good as there ever was.

You never have to wait long, or look far, to be reminded of how thin the line is between being a hero or a goat.

If the World Series was on the line and I could pick one pitcher to pitch the game, I'd choose Whitey Ford every time.

I don't care what the situation was, how high the stakes were - the bases could be loaded and the pennant riding on every pitch, it never bothered Whitey. He pitched his game. Cool. Craft. Nerves of steel.
