I love to play this game of baseball. I love putting on the uniform.

The first principle of contract negotiations is don't remind them of what you did in the past - tell them what you're going to do in the future.

There was never a day when I was as good as Joe DiMaggio at his best. Joe was the best, the very best I ever saw.

I started to crouch because that way I could guard the plate better, and I always wanted to hit .300 in the big leagues.

It seemed like I always did some great hitting in Brooklyn. The field there was close to the stands. Every time I started walking to the plate, I could hear the fans say, 'Here comes that man again. Here comes that man.'

Unless you give it all you've got, there isn't any sense in playing.

I'm a musician. I play harmonica for relaxation. A good way to relax and entertain people. An excellent way to have fun.
