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.'

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

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.

Used to be bats had thick handles and a big barrel. Then they found it's not the size of the bat that gets home runs - it's the speed with which you can swing it.

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.

The key to hitting for high average is to relax, concentrate, and don't hit the fly ball to center field.

Hitting is like swimming. Once you learn the stroke, you never forget it.
