When I get the record, all it will make me is the player with the most hits. I'm also the player with the most at bats and the most outs. I never said I was a greater player than (Ty) Cobb.

If somebody is gracious enough to give me a second chance, I won't need a third.

Sure I do, and if someone paid you six-thousand dollars a game, you'd have fun as well.

If you have someone equal in ability to me I will beat him every time because I will try harder.

It's a round ball and a round bat, and you got to hit it square.

Once you accept defeat, it becomes ease to lose. If defeat comes, face it and take it, but don't accept it.

I don't go to bed every night worried about getting back into baseball.
