(Jim) Landis is such a good player because he plays every day as if he expects to be sent to the minors next week.

We won (the pennant) because we've got a superior ball club. Not many stars perhaps, but the kind of team that always plays well together.

If a ballplayer is satisfied, he's going to slip. You have to keep fighting to improve.

Second base is anything but magic. If it's anything at all, it's speed, sureness with your hands and lots of hard work.

I don't think anyone ever liked to play more than I did.

No one had to tell me I was never going to be a home run hitter. I was hitting the same ball as the rest of the players, but when the big guys cracked one, it went out of the park. Mine went out of the infield.

All small men, all non-power hitters, must learn to bunt well. It's half your game.
