If I were playing today I'd do what Joe DiMaggio said. I'd go knock on the door at Yankee Stadium and when George Steinbrenner answered I'd say, 'Howdy, pardner.'

At my best I was as good as anyone.

It was all I lived for, to play baseball.

The only thing I can do is play baseball. I have to play ball. It's the only thing I know.

It's what you're worth.

All I have is natural ability.

The thing I really liked about Mickey was the way he treated everyone the same.
