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.

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

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

The big trouble is not really who isn't in the Hall of Fame, but who is. It was established for a select few.

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