I Came To The Braves On Business,

You've Got To Remember, The Older You Get The Slower You Get. I've Seen A Lot Of Players Get Old ... If I Can Have A Good Season In 1972 And Come Back With Another Good One, Well, That's Different. I Might Not Quit. But Two Bad Ones Back To Back And Staying Home Would Be Written On The Wall.

Last Year, I Was Sort Of A Kid And I Was A Little Scared, I Ain't Scared Any More.

I Have Always Felt That Although Someone May Defeat Me, And I Strike Out In A Ball Game, The Pitcher On The Particular Day Was The Best Player. But I Know When I See Him Again, I'm Going To Be Ready For His Curve Ball. Failure Is A Part Of Success.

I've Tried A Lot Of Things In The Off-season, But The Only Thing I Really Know Is Baseball.

Baseball Is A Lot Like The Ivy-covered Wall Of Wrigley Field--it Gives Off A Great Appearance, But When You Run Into It, You Discover The Bricks Underneath. At Times, It Seems That We're Dealing With A Group Of Men Who Aren't Much Different Than Others We've All Run Into Over The Years, Except They Wear Neckties Instead Of Robes And Hoods.
