The great American game should be an unrelenting war of nerves.

I have observed that baseball is not unlike war, and when you get right down to it, we batters are the heavy artillery.

I may have been fierce, but never low or underhand.

I'm coming down on the next pitch, Krauthead.

The way those clubs shift against Ted Williams, I can't understand how he can be so stupid not to accept the challenge to him and hit to left field.

When I played ball, I didn't play for fun.

Baseball was one-hundred percent of my life.
