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

If you don't think too good, don't think too much.

I hope somebody hits .400 soon. Then people can start pestering that guy with questions about the last guy to hit .400.

All managers are losers, they are the most expendable pieces of furniture on the face of the Earth.

If I was being paid thirty-thousand dollars a year, the very least I could do was hit .400.

All the bullets and all the bombs that explode all over the world won't leave the impact, when all is said and done, of a dollar bill dropped in the Jimmy Fund pot by a warm heart and a willing hand. You should be proud and happy to know that your contribution will someday help some kid to a better life.

Baseball gives every American boy a chance to excel, not just to be as good as someone else but to be better than someone else. This is the nature of man and the name of the game.
