Whenever I hit a home run, I make certain I touch all four bases.
Don't be afraid to take advice. There's always something new to learn.
If you want to hit home runs, you've go to swing a lot.
I didn't mean to hit the umpire with the dirt, but I did mean to hit that bastard in the stands.
I don't need to know where the green is. Where is the golf course?
All I can tell them is pick a good one and sock it. I get back to the dugout and they ask me what it was I hit and I tell them I don't know except it looked good.
I thank heaven we have had baseball in this world... the kids... our national pastime.
Let me show you how it's done... Loser!
All ballplayers should quit when it starts to feel as if all the baselines run uphill.
As soon as I got out there I felt a strange relationship with the pitcher's mound. It was as if I'd been born out there. Pitching just felt like the most natural thing in the world. Striking out batters was easy.
I said I'm going to hit the next one right over the flagpole. God must have been with me.
Baseball is the greatest game in the world and deserves the best you can give it.
What I am, what I have, what I am going to leave behind me - all this I owe to the game of baseball.
A part of control is learning to correct your own weaknesses. The person doesn't live who was born with everything. Sometimes he has one weak point, generally he has several. The first thing is to know your faults. And then take on a systematic plan of correcting them. You know the old saying about a chain only being as strong as its weakest link. The same can be said in the chain of skills a man forges.
