Baseball has been very good to me.

If you have a chance to accomplish something that will make things better for people coming behind you, and you don’t do that, you are wasting your time on this Earth.

I want to be remembered as a ballplayer who gave all he had to give.

Why does everyone talk about the past? All that counts is tomorrow's game.

A nation without heroes is nothing.

In a way, I was born twice. I was born in 1934 and again in 1955 when I came to Pittsburgh. I am thankful to say that I lived two lives.

I am convinced that God wanted me to be a baseball player. I was born to play baseball.

Preparing for the ups and downs of life.

I long to speak out the intense inspiration that comes to me from the lives of strong women.

Finding a sponsor is the toughest part of racing, tougher than driving.

It is safer to learn than teach; and who conceals his opinion has nothing to answer for.
