I told the umpires to walk back at least thirty-five feet from home plate. That reduced the arguements.

That guy in a twenty-five cent bleacher seat is as much entitled to know a call as the guy in the boxes. He can see my arm signal even if he can't hear my voice.

Baseball is more than a game to me, it's a religion.

An angry player can't argue with the back of an umpire who is walking away.

Your job is to umpire for the ball and not the player.

The best umpired game is the game in which the fans cannot recall the umpires who worked it.

It ain't nothing till I call it.

The most cowardly thing in the world is blaming mistakes upon the umpires. Too many managers strut around on the field trying to manage the umpires instead of their teams.

Young man, if that bat comes down, you're out of the game

In my heart, I never called one wrong.

Baseball is more than a game to me, it's a religon.

Win or lose, good or bad, the experience will change you.

One should never expect anyone to reply to one's questions.

Who would dream that one can love without being crushed under the weight of it?

The poor Oscars - they always get slammed in the press.

I do not have a 24-year-old girlfriend. I have another life altogether.

The value of moments, when cast up, is immense, if well employed; if thrown away, their loss is irrecoverable.

If you think or fear too much, you can't get far!

One withers, another grows.

Truth is the summit of being; justice is the application of it to affairs.

Let us unlearn our wisdom of the world. Let us lie low in the Lord's power, and learn that truth alone makes rich and great.
