I stare out the window and wait for spring.

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.

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.

Now the advantage is all with the hitters.

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

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