I was the greenest rookie that ever was. One evening I was standing out on the sidewalk when a stranger approached and said, 'You're famous already kid. See, they've named a hotel for you.' I looked across the street and sure enough, there was a big illuminated sign that read 'Johnson Hotel.' Well, do you know that I was so green that I actually believed the man!

Well I can't rightly say (which player hit the ball hardest), but the ones (home runs by) Ruth hit got smaller quicker.

Nobody saw it, he (Rogers Hornsby) hit it and it disappeared.

You can't hit what you can't see; I float like a butterfly and sting like a bee!

The cost of anything is the foregone alternative.

Can I throw harder than Joe Wood? Listen mister, no man alive can throw any harder than Smoky Joe Wood.

(Bob) Feller isn't quite as fast as I was.
