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

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.

Not bragging by any means, but I could have done a lot of other stuff as far as working in films go and working in television... I had chances to do that stuff, but I like baseball, I really do.

I wish upon a glimmering star, My hopes as distant and as far. So if this wish does not come true, I’m thankful for the few that do.

Behind all the surface composure, there seemed to be a great darkness: an urge to test himself, to take risks, to haunt the edges of things.

I'm not looking for a battle with anybody, neither the council nor our labor partners.

We Jews really don't need any tutoring in democracy.

Get all the crap out of your diet, just do it right for a week. Then just see what can happen.

Such a letter was not to be soon recovered from. . . . Every moment rather brought fresh agitation. It was an overpowering happiness.

I don't believe in eating junk and I protect my face all the time from the sun, even in the winter with base and makeup.

The Orlando Magic were so bad last season, the cheerleaders stayed home and phoned in their cheers.
