When you take a pitch and line it somewhere, it's like you've thought of something and put it with beautiful clarity.

Babe Ruth was great. I'm just lucky.

Blind people come to the park just to hear him pitch.

Just like every other kid in my grade school, I was listening to my little radio plug in my ear when Mickey Mantle hit 18 post-season homers and won series after series for the Yankees. I listened and I learned from that. I think he was the original 'Mr. October,' but thank god it didn't stick.

Fans don't boo nobodies.

Once you realize how good you really are, you never settle for playing less than your best.
