You can't go out to the mound hobbling and take a pitcher out with a cane.

I might have been able to make it as a pitcher except for one thing: I had a rather awkward motion and every time I brought my left arm forward I hit myself in the ear.

No baseball pitcher would be worth a darn without a catcher who could handle the hot fastball.

I came in here and a fella asked me to have a drink. I said I don't drink. Then another fella said hear you and Joe DiMaggio aren't speaking and I said I'll take that drink.

When you are younger you get blamed for crimes you never committed and when you're older you begin to get credit for virtues you never possessed. It evens itself out.

I feel greatly honored to have a ballpark named after me, especially since I've been thrown out of so many.
