aaron five good great guys henry incredible mays players ten
I think it's incredible because there were guys like Mays and Mantle and Henry Aaron who were great players for ten years... I only had four or five good years.

Except for getting hit by a foul ball,
biggest guys trying win
Those guys had been there for 10 years trying to win a World Series. I think that was their biggest moment.

This indicates I had good stuff. I had a good fast ball, especially late in the game. I felt loose and my control was better than it had been all year.
balls fast
I pitched to Kuenn with everything I had left, ... They were all fast balls.

But I'm glad we got the run or we might have been here all night.
arnold babe baseball believe game palmer player run ruth willie
I can't believe that Babe Ruth was a better player than Willie Mays. Ruth is to baseball what Arnold Palmer is to golf. He got the game moving. But I can't believe he could run as well as Mays, and I can't believe he was any better an outfielder.

I've got a lot of years to live after baseball and I would like to live them with the complete use of my body.

If there was any magic formula, it was getting to pitch every fourth day.

I think it's incredible because there were guys like (Willie) Mays and (Mickey) Mantle and Henry Aaron who were great players for ten years... I only had four or five good years.
games upset-stomach pills
I don’t know if cortisone is good for you or not. But to take a shot every other ball game is more than I wanted to do and to walk around with a constant upset stomach because of the pills and to be high half the time during a ball game because you’re taking painkillers, I don’t want to have to do that.
winning organization goal
There is among us a far closer relationship than the purely social one of a fraternal organization because we are bound together not only by a single interest but by a common goal. To win. Nothing else matters, and nothing else will do.
running baseball moving
I can't believe that Babe Ruth was a better player than Willie Mays. (Babe) Ruth is to baseball what Arnold Palmer is to golf. He got the game moving. But I can't believe he could run as well as (Willie) Mays, and I can't believe he was any better an outfielder.
