Yes, I Had To Learn How To

That's How Easy Baseball Was For Me. I'm Not Trying To Brag Or Anything, But I Had The Knowledge Before I Became A Professional Baseball Player To Do All These Things And Know What Each Guy Would Hit.

What's Tough Is Being Good Every Day.

Never Assume The Other Guy Will Never Do Something You Would Never Do.

At Ten I Was Playing Against 18-year-old Guys. At 15 I Was Playing Professional Ball With The Birmingham Black Barons, So I Really Came Very Quickly In All Sports.

I Don't Know What Joe (dimaggio) Wanted (in Regards To Being Called 'the Greatest Living Ballplayer'), But I Don't Have A Problem, If He Wanted To Do That. He Was My Hero. Joe Was The Best All-around Player. Joe Was The Best. I Only Played Against Him Once, In The '51 Series.
