I didn't even graduate from high school. I've never told anybody that before. I got my degree later, when I was in the army.

The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a man's determination.

You give loyalty, you'll get it back. You give love, you’ll get it back.

I've had heroes in my life - Joe DiMaggio, Babe Ruth.

I love doubleheaders. That way I get to keep my uniform on longer.

Sports has kept me on the straight and narrow path.

Say 'Dodgers' and people know you're talking about baseball. Say 'Braves' and they ask, 'What reservation?' Say 'Reds' and they think of communism. Say 'Padres' and they look around for a priest.
