No man in the history of baseball had as much power as . No man.

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.'

I leaned on him for support when I got out of the cab, and he just crumpled to the ground. That's how we found out.

After I hit a home run I had a habit of running the bases with my head down. I figured the pitcher already felt bad enough without me showing him up rounding the bases.

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

I thought I raised a ballplayer. You're nothing but a coward and a quitter.

You never have to wait long, or look far, to be reminded of how thin the line is between being a hero or a goat.

Well, baseball was my whole life. Nothing's ever been as fun as baseball.

I've often wondered how a man who knew he was going to die could stand here and say he was the luckiest man on the face of the earth, but now I guess I know how he felt.

What use, after all, is man, if not to teach God His lessons?

I know only that what is moral is what you feel good after and what is immoral is what you feel bad after.

About my career I was serious and earnest, sometimes impatient.

It's not about what you tell your children, but how you show them how to live life.

Maybe I could have loved you better. Maybe you should have loved me more. Maybe our hearts were just next in line. Maybe everything breaks sometime.

It's like hunting cows

I have no dress except the one I wear every day. If you are going to be kind enough to give me one, please let it be practical and dark so that I can put it on afterwards to go to the laboratory.

It takes extraordinary wisdom and self-control to accept that many things have a logic we do not understand that is smarter than our own.

I know actors that were on great television shows that got cancelled and they have never done anything that good since.

I also know how to ask people for money and I have no shame about doing that.
