A team is where a boy can prove his courage on his own. A gang is where a coward goes to hide.

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.

The hardest thing to do in sports, I think, is to hit a home run.

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.

It was all I lived for, to play baseball.

If you want to know who was better, me or Willie Mays, you have to look at our career stats. And Willie's bottom line was better.

Before you go, would you sign that case of balls for me?
