I don't compare 'em, I just catch 'em.

I would try and help everybody, because the game was so easy for me. It was just like walking in the park.

I'm a very lucky guy. I had so many people help me over the years that I never had many problems. If I had a problem, I could sit down with someone and they would explain the problem to me, and the problem become like a baseball game

It isn't hard to be good from time to time in sports. What is tough, is being good every day.

I think I was the best baseball player I ever saw.

When I got to professional ball I used to play 150 games every year. It depends on how many games there was.

I remember the last season I played. I went home after a ballgame one day, lay down on my bed, and tears came to my eyes. How can you explain that? It's like crying for your mother after she's gone. You cry because you love her. I cried, I guess, because I loved baseball, and I knew I had to leave it.
