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

I've never been a yes man.

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.

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.
