Never let your head hang down. Never give up and sit down and grieve. Find another way.

One time he (Cool Papa Bell) hit a line drive right past my ear. I turned around and saw the ball hit his ass sliding into second.

What's scary in life is not what people know (or don't know), but what they know that ain't so.

Nobody likes the ball low and away, but that's where you're going to get it from me. I been pitching it there 50 years, away from them. That way they can't hurt you. You keep the ball in the park.

Smokey Joe (Williams) could throw harder than anyone.

I ain't ever had a job, I just always played baseball.

You gotta keep the ball off the fat part of the bat.
