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

The hardest thing to do in baseball is to hit a round baseball with a round bat, squarely.

By the time you know what to do, you're too old to do it.

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

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.

It's a funny thing, but, as years go by, I think you appreciate more and more what a great thing it was to be a United States Marine... People will tell me what a shame it was I had to go back into the service a second time, but I'm kinda glad I did.. Besides, I am a U.S. Marine and I'll be one till I die.

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