If I hadn't met those two guys (Billy Martin and Whitey Ford) at the start of my career, I would have lasted another five years.

It's unbelievable how much you don't know about the game you've been playing all your life.

A team is where a boy can prove his courage on his own. A gang is where a coward goes to hide.

Somebody once asked me if I ever went up to the plate trying to hit a home run. I said, 'Sure, every time.'

If I had played my career hitting singles like Pete (Rose), I'd wear a dress.

Chocolate is not cheating! After a salty meal, you need a little bit of sweet. This is living, not cheating.

Go where there is silence and say something.

The true Martial Artist is not the one who fears change, but the one who causes it to happen.

My mother gave lots of good advice and had a lot to say. As you get older, you realize everything she said was true.
