As Much As We Disliked The Yankees,

I Would Rather Beat The Yankees Regularly Than Pitch A No Hit Game.

Nowadays, They Have More Trouble Packing Hair Dryers Than Baseball Equipment.

When You Make A Bad Pitch And The Hitter Puts It Out Of The Park And You Cost Your Team The Game, It's A Real Test Of Your Maturity To Be Able To Stand In Front Of Your Locker Fifteen Minutes Later And Admit It To The World. How Many People In Other Professions Would Be Willing To Have Their Job Performances Evaluated That Way, In Front Of Millions, Every Afternoon At Five O'clock.

I Spent 34 Months On The Battleship Alabama, South Dakota-class. I Was A Gun Captain. First We Went To Russia For About 11 Months With The British Convoys. Then We Were Up In Norway And Scandinavia.

My Father Kept Me Busy From Dawn To Dusk When I Was A Kid. When I Wasn't Pitching Hay, Hauling Corn Or Running A Tractor, I Was Heaving A Baseball Into His Mitt Behind The Barn... If All The Parents In The Country Followed His Rule, Juvenile Delinquency Would Be Cut In Half In A Year's Time.
