I Can't Recall A Day This Year

I'm Hoping Someday That Some Kid, Black Or White, Will Hit More Home Runs Than Myself. Whoever It Is, I'd Be Pulling For Him.

I Used To Love To Come To The Ballpark. Now I Hate It. Every Day Becomes A Little Tougher Because Of All This. Writers, Tape Recorders, Microphones, Cameras, Questions And More Questions. Roger Maris Lost His Hair The Season He Hit Sixty-one. I Still Have All My Hair, But When It's Over, I'm Going Home To Mobile And Fish For A Long Time.

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.

I Had Just Turned 20, And Jackie Told Me The Only Way To Be Successful At Anything Was To Go Out And Do It. He Said Baseball Was A Game You Played Every Day, Not Once A Week.

The Pitcher Has Got Only A Ball. I've Got A Bat. So The Percentage In Weapons Is In My Favor And I Let The Fellow With The Ball Do The Fretting.
