Back in my day, we didn't think about money as much. We enjoyed playing the game. We loved baseball. I didn't think about anybody else but the Cardinals.

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

I never realized that batting a little ball around could cause so much commotion. I now know how (Charles) Lindbergh must have felt when he returned from St. Louis.

There is no one correct way to bat, and so of course there is no one correct stance for it.

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.

I learned to hit with a broomstick and a ball of tape and I could always get that bat on the ball.

What I try to do is never to hurt anybody else and figure if I don't, then I'm not likely to get hurt myself.
