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

Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball.

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

Now the advantage is all with the hitters.

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

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

I'd rather him (Grover Alexander) pitch a crucial game for me drunk, then anyone I've ever known sober. He was that good.
