It's a business. If I could make more money down in the zinc mines I'd be mining zinc.

It would have been a helluva lot more fun if I had never hit those 61 homeruns... all it brought me was headaches.

Don't quote me on this, but if they ever manage to ban beer advertising in baseball you can kiss the national pastime goodbye.

I think the most privacy I had was when the game was going on.

You hit home runs not by chance, but by preparation.

I don't know if I want to go to New York. They'll have to pay me a lot more money because I like it here in Kansas City.

As a ballplayer, I would be delighted to do it again. As an individual, I doubt if I could possibly go through it again.
