They say some of my stars drink whiskey, but I have found that ones who drink milkshakes don't win many ball games.
yankees catchers new-york-yankees
Canzeroni is the only defensive catcher that can't catch.
cities kansas-city yankees
Nobody knows this, but one of us has just been traded to Kansas City.
baseball hurt get-over
Take everything you can get over in center. The Dago's heel is hurting pretty bad.

He's a smart-assed kid who's always sassin' people and gettin' away with it.
sports sunset loser
Without losers, where would the winners be?
yankees play new-york-yankees
We've got to learn how to stay out of triple plays.
home yankees hands
There's nobody on my ball club that doesn't go from first to third on a base hit, or from second to home. Every time you steal a base, you're taking a gamble on getting thrown out, and taking the bat out of the hitter's hand.

He (Gil Hodges) fields better on one leg than anybody else I got on two.
thinking trying approval
The best ballplayer's the one who doesn't think he made good. He keeps trying to convince you.

You have to draft a catcher, because if you don't have one, the pitch will roll all the way back to the screen.

I love signing autographs. I'll sign anything but veal cutlets. My ballpoint slips on veal cutlets.
baseball games mad
I'm mad at him, too, for being out late. But I'm not mad enough to take a chance on losing a ball game and possibly the pennant.
