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.

On October 19, 1949, I got a telephone call from the Philadelphia (A's) front office informing me I had been traded to the White Sox for Joe Tipton. I was surprised and hurt.

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

You don't have to be big to be a big leaguer. Look at Phil Rizzuto. He's really small and he's been one of the greatest that ever was.

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.

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