I've never been a yes man.

I've always played hard. If that's rough and tough, I can't help it. I don't believe there's any such thing as a good loser. I wouldn't sit down and play a game of cards with you right now withing wanting to win. If I hadn't felt that way I wouldn't have got very far in baseball.

I don't want to play golf. When I hit a ball, I want someone else to go chase it.

I stare out the window and wait for spring.

I've cheated, or someone on my team has cheated, in almost every single game I've been in.

Any ballplayer that don't sign autographs for little kids ain't an American. He's a communist.

I never saw a pitcher I didn't feel sorry for.
