I've often wondered how a man who knew he was going to die could stand here and say he was the luckiest man on the face of the earth, but now I guess I know how he felt.
Roger Maris was as good a man and as good a ballplayer as there ever was.
This year I'd rather lead the league in home runs, runs batted in and hitting.
Hitting the ball was easy. Running around the bases was the tough part.
The biggest thrill I ever had was in 1969, when they held day at Yankee Stadium.
I never got to see the '27 Yankees. Everyone says that was the greatest team ever. But I think it would've been a great series if we'd have had the chance to play them.
