The crowd makes the ballgame.

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

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.

No man has ever been a perfect ballplayer. Stan Musial, however, is the closest to being perfect in the game today.

I had to fight all my life to survive. They were all against me, but I beat the bastards and left them in the ditch.

That boy Mantle is a good one.

Don't come home a failure.
