Baseball Was One-hundred Percent Of My Life.

The Crowd Makes The Ballgame.

I May Have Been Fierce, But Never Low Or Underhand.

I Have Observed That Baseball Is Not Unlike War, And When You Get Right Down To It, We Batters Are The Heavy Artillery.

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.

The Base Paths Belonged To Me, The Runner. The Rules Gave Me The Right. I Always Went Into A Bag Full Speed, Feet First. I Had Sharp Spikes On My Shoes. If The Baseman Stood Where He Had No Business To Be And Got Hurt, That Was His Fault.
