You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don't play together, the club won't be worth a dime.
George Herman
It's hard to beat a person who never gives up.
You know this baseball game of ours comes up from the youth. That means the boys. And after you've been a boy, and grow up to know how to play ball, then you come to the boys you see representing themselves today in our national pastime.
The harder you grip the bat, the more you can swing it through the ball, and the farther the ball will go.
I've never heard a crowd boo a homer, but I've heard plenty of boos after a strikeout.
I know, but I had a better year than Hoover.
Striking out batters was easy.
I have only one superstition... Touch all the bases when I hit a home run.
I'd play for half my salary if I could hit in this dump all the time.
To my sick little pal. I will try to knock you another homer, maybe two today.
I'd give a year of my life if I could hit a homerun on opening day of this great new park.
You're an actor, are you? Well, all that means is: you are irresponsible, irrational, romantic, and incapable of handling an adult emotion or a universal concept without first reducing it to something personal, material, sensational - and probably sexual!
I'll win more games playing everyday in the outfield than I will pitching every fourth day.
You know how bad my voice sounds - well it feels just as bad.
The only real game - I think - in the world is baseball.
Pitching just felt like the most natural thing in the world.
How to hit home runs: I swing as hard as I can, and I try to swing right through the ball.
I hit big or I miss big.
I like to live as big as I can.
The way a team plays as a whole determines its success.
Watch my dust.
