Baseball is a red-blooded sport for red-blooded men. It's no pink tea, and mollycoddles had better stay out. It's a struggle for supremacy, a survival of the fittest.

Every great batter works on the theory that the pitcher is more afraid of him than he is of the pitcher.

When I played ball, I didn't play for fun... It's no pink tea, and mollycoddles had better stay out. It's a contest and everything that implies, a struggle for supremacy, a survival of the fittest.

Baseball was one-hundred percent of my life.

When I began playing the game, baseball was about as gentlemanly as a kick in the crotch.
