To play 18 years in Yankee Stadium is the best thing that could ever happen to a ballplayer.
I can't play any more. I can't hit the ball when I need to. I can't steal second when I need to. I can't go from first to third when I need to. I can't score from second when I need to. I have to quit.
The thing I really liked about Mickey was the way he treated everyone the same.
I thought I raised a ballplayer. You're nothing but a coward and a quitter.
It was all I lived for, to play baseball.
The best hitter I ever saw was Ted Williams.
