No man has ever been a perfect ballplayer. Stan Musial, however, is the closest to being perfect in the game today.
The most important part of a player's body is above his shoulders.
A ball bat is a wondrous weapon.
The first time I faced him I watched him take that easy windup and then something went past me that made me flinch. The thing just hissed with danger. We couldn't touch him... Every one of us knew we'd met the most powerful arm ever turned loose in a ball park.
I've been called one of the hardest bargainers who ever held out, and I'm proud of it.
I have observed that baseball is not unlike war, and when you get right down to it, we batters are the heavy artillery.
