I always tried to hit the ball back through the box because that is the largest unprotected area.

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

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

Baseball is my life, the only thing I know and can talk about. My only interest.

Players who stand flat footed and swing with their arms are golfers, not hitters.
