People always told me that my natural ability and good eyesight were the reasons for my success as a hitter. They never talk about the practice, practice, practice.

The Cleveland Cavaliers just offered me a full-time job and a house! A house! A house!

God gets you to the plate, but once you're there you're on your own.

There's only one way to become a hitter. Go up to the plate and get mad. Get mad at yourself and mad at the pitcher.

Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer.

Joe DiMaggio was the greatest all-around player I ever saw. His career can not be summed up in numbers and awards. It might sound corny, but he had a profound and lasting impact on the country.

Just keep going. Everybody gets better if they keep at it.
