I can see how he (Sandy Koufax) won twenty-five games. What I don't understand is how he lost five.

Losing's a great motivator.

Third ain't so bad if nothin' is hit to you.

I'm a lucky guy and I'm happy to be with the Yankees. And I want to thank everyone for making this night necessary.

If people don't want to come to the ballpark, how are you going to stop them?

You don't need Little League. You don't even need nine kids. Four is plenty-a pitcher, a batter, and a couple of shaggers. You can play ball all day long. My kids used to try to get me out there, but I'd just say, "Go play with your brothers." If kids want to do something, they'll do it. They don't need adults to do it for them.

You've got to be very careful if you don't know where you are going, because you might not get there.
