I had only one superstition. I made sure to touch all the bases when I hit a home run.

Every strike brings me closer to the next home run.

If it wasn't for baseball, I'd be in either the penitentiary or the cemetery.

Baseball changes through the years. It gets milder.

If I'd just tried for them dinky singles I could've batted around .600.

I didn't mean to hit the umpire with the dirt, but I did mean to hit that bastard in the stands.
