Well, The Good Lord And Good Luck

The Most Important Thing That A Young Athlete Must Do It Pick The Right Sport. Not One That They Like Just A Little Bit, But One That They Love. Because,if They Don't Really Love Their Sport, They Won't Work As Hard As They Should. Me? I Loved To Hit.

The Termites Have Got Me.

I Won't Be Happy Until We Have Every Boy In America Between The Ages Of Six And Sixteen Wearing A Glove And Swinging A Bat.

I Hear The Cheers When They Roared And The Jeers When They Echoed.

The Curve And The Fast One Are Important; The Change Of Pace And The Other Trick Deliveries Are Great But They're Not Worth A Plugged Nickel Unless You Have Control To Go Along With Them. And By Control I Don't Mean The Ability To Put The Ball Over The Plate Somewhere Between The Shoulders And Knees. I Mean The Ability To Hit A Three-inch Target Nine Times Out Of Ten, The Sort Of Control That Lets You Put The Ball In The Exact Spot You Want It, And To Play A Corner To The Split Fraction Of An Inch.
