They have Easter egg hunts in Philadelphia, and if the kids don't find the eggs, they get booed.

I knew when my career was over. In 1965 my baseball card came out with no picture.

People don't know this, but I helped the Cardinals win the pennant. I came down with hepatitis. The trainer injected me with it!

I signed a very modest $3,000 bonus with the Braves in Milwaukee. And my old man didn't have that kinda money to put out.

They broke it to me gently. The manager came up to me before a game and told me they didn't allow visitors in the clubhouse.

Between me and my roommate, we've hit 400 Major League home runs.

The highlight of my baseball career came in Philadelphia's Connie Mack Stadium when I saw a fan fall out of the upper deck. When he got up and walked away, the crowd booed.

I led the league in go get 'em next time.

In 1962 I was named Minor League Player of the Year. It was my second season in the bigs.

When I came up to bat with three men on and two outs in the ninth, I looked in the other team's dugout and they were already in street clothes.

When I played baseball I got death threats all the time--from my mother.

They tell us that "Pity is akin to Love;" if so, Pity must be a poor relation.

I'm not as soft or as generous a person as I would be if the world hadn't changed me.

The poor need the motivation, the incentives, the skills, the education so they can help themselves.

Life is no way to treat an animal.

Is the prisoner a prisoner because he lives in a cage or because he knows that he lives in a cage?

If I'm gonna play a character in a movie or if I want to be the lead of a film, you wanna carry the guy, you wanna get the girl, you wanna save the day or the world.

Every sunrise hold more promise, and every sunset hold more peace.

Swedes, compared to Americans, can seem a little cold and introverted.
