Now I've had everything except for the thrill of watching Babe Ruth play.

In that case Mr Barrow, Mr Gehrig is a very underpaid ballplayer.

I thought he had been shot.

Putting the Yankee uniform on every day.

It's great to be young and be a Yankee!

There's always some youngster coming up they'll find somebody.

After I got that hit off Satchel (Paige), I knew I was ready for the big leagues.

Too many kids today are playing major league ball and don't belong there.

I'm a ballplayer, not an actor.

All pitchers are born pitchers.

There’s nobody taking centre from me until I give it up.

I think there are some players born to play ball.

The test of an outfielder's skill comes when he has to go against the fence to make a catch.

Just two words: a masterpiece.

We need a hit, so here I go.

At my age, I'm just happy to be named the greatest living anything.

When baseball is no longer fun, it's no longer a game.

I want to thank the good lord for making me a yankee

There is always some kid who may be seeing me for the first time. I owe him my best.
