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

People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring.

A great hitter isn't born, he's made. He's made out of practice, fault correction, and confidence.

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

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.

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

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