The first rule of baseball is to get a good ball to hit.

I've never been a yes man.

The home run became glorified with Babe Ruth. Starting with him, batters have been thinking in terms of how far they could hit the ball, not how often.

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

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