Those people don't know how tough that really was.

Roger Maris was as good a man and as good a ballplayer as there ever was.

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.

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.

It looked like Roy Rogers rode through on Trigger, and Trigger kicked the guy in the face.

I don't care who you are, you hear those boos.

Somebody once asked me if I ever went up to the plate trying to hit a home run. I said, 'Sure, every time.'
