I Came To The Braves On Business,

It Took Me Seventeen Years To Get Three Thousand Hits In Baseball. I Did It In One Afternoon On The Golf Course.

Can I Smoke Now Without Someone Taking My Picture?

I Played Sometimes About As Dull As You Can Play It. I Did Things The Right Way, You Know. I Think I Modeled My Playing Ability After One Of The All Time Greats, Joe Dimaggio. You Always Found Joe, When He Played, You Know, He Always Threw To The Right Base. He Ran, He Caught The Ball. He Did All The Right Things. He Was An Idol Of Mine In The Outfield. He Played The Game The Way It Was Supposed To Be Played.

Baseball Needs Me Because It Needs Somebody To Stir The Pot, And I Need It Because It's My Life. It's The Means I Have To Make A Little Difference In The World.

The Thing I Like About Baseball Is That It's One-on-one. You Stand Up There Alone, And If You Make A Mistake, It's Your Mistake. If You Hit A Home Run, It's Your Home Run.
