I own stock, and I also insure my car with Geico.

I may have been fierce, but never low or underhand.

When I began playing the game, baseball was about as gentlemanly as a kick in the crotch.

I had to fight all my life to survive. They were all against me, but I beat the bastards and left them in the ditch.

A ball bat is a wondrous weapon.

I never could stand losing. Second place didn't interest me. I had a fire in my belly.

Every great batter works on the theory that the pitcher is more afraid of him than he is of the pitcher.

We were mighty short of infielders in those days

The Cubs are gonna shine in sixty-nine.

No, I think the pitching today has more depth.

I like my players to be married and in debt. That's the way you motivate them.

When I wake up in the morning, I feel like a billionaire without paying taxes.

But it all comes down to friendship, treating people right.

Awards mean a lot, but they don't say it all. The people in baseball mean more to me than statistics.

The riches of the game are in the thrills, not the money.

It's a kind of philosophy of my own life, to create the energy enough to keep on going.

Baseball reveals character; golf exposes it.

The only way to prove that you're a good sport is to lose.
