I Don't Think Baseball Owes Colored People

Life Comes Down To Honesty And Doing What's Right. That's What's Most Important.

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.

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

Every Day Is A New Opportunity. You Can Build On Yesterday's Success Or Put Its Failures Behind And Start Over Again. That's The Way Life Is, With A New Game Every Day, And That's The Way Baseball Is.

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.
