"If Satch (Paige) and I were pitching on the same team, we would clinch the pennant by July fourth and go fishing until World Series time."
"Son, what kind of pitch would you like to miss?"
"All ballplayers want to wind up their careers with the Cubs, Giants or Yankees. They just can't help it."
"The pitcher wound up and he flang the ball at the batter. The batter swang and missed. The pitcher flang the ball again and this time the batter connected. He hit a high fly right to the center fielder. The center fielder was all set to catch the ball, but at the last minute his eyes were blound by the sun and he dropped it."
"It ain't bragging if you can do it."
