Creating success is tough. But keeping it is tougher. You have to keep producing, you can't ever stop.

I haven't missed a game in two-and-a-half years. I go to the park as sick as a dog and, when I see my uniform hanging there, I get well right now. Then I see some of you guys (media) and I get sick again.

A hitter's impatience is the pitcher's biggest advantage.

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.

I admitted I bet on baseball, but I wasn't suspended from baseball for betting on baseball.

What's the game coming to? Evidently the guys making all these rules never played the game of baseball.

The manager of a team is like a stagecoach, he can't move unless he has the horses.
