What I am, what I have, what I am going to leave behind me - all this I owe to the game of baseball.
Baseball is the greatest game in the world and deserves the best you can give it.
I don't give a damn about any actors. What good will John Barrymore do you with the bases loaded and two down in a tight ball game. Either I get the money (more than Barrymore), or I don't play!
Love the game of baseball and baseball will love you.
Aw, everybody knows that game, the day I hit the homer off ole Charlie Root there in Wrigley Field, the day October first, the third game of that thirty-two World Series. But right now I want to settle all arguments. I didn't exactly point to any spot, like the flagpole. Anyway, I didn't mean to, I just sorta waved at the whole fence, but that was foolish enough. All I wanted to do was give that thing a ride... outta the park... anywhere.
Life is a game like any other; we just don't take it as seriously.
Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world.
I think we've done a lot better than expected against some of these teams, ... These are teams that play 180 games a year. I think with the way we've been playing, we may have a chance to go deep in the tournament.
I can't have 3, ... so I just put a 1 in front of it. Also, I was a big Dan Marino fan growing up and 13 was my number as a high school quarterback.
Each strikeout brings me closer to my next homerun.
"I'm going over the valley." (Dying from throat cancer, his doctor found him wandering around his room, asked him where was he going?)
It's hard to beat somebody when they don't give up.
That last one sounded kinda high to me.
The termites have got me.
