The best hitter I ever saw was Ted Williams.

Heroes are people who are all good with no bad in them. That's the way I always saw Joe DiMaggio. He was beyond question one of the greatest players of the century.

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.

Hey man! Get away from me!

I never saw him fight. I never saw Billy fight.

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.
