| | Don't let the fear of striking out hold you back. |
| | Every strike brings me closer to the next home run. |
| | Gee, its lonesome in the outfield. It's hard to keep awake with nothing to do. |
| | I decided to pick out the greatest hitter to watch and study, and Jackson was good enough for me. |
| | I didn't mean to hit the umpire with the dirt, but I did mean to hit that bastard in the stands. |
| | I'd give a year of my life if I could hit a homerun on opening day of this great new park. |
| | I'd play for half my salary if I could hit in this dump all the time. |
| | I've never heard a crowd boo a homer, but I've heard plenty of boos after a strikeout. |
| | All ballplayers should quit when it starts to feel as if all the baselines run uphill. |
| | Baseball changes through the years. It gets milder. |
| | Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world. |

| | If it wasn't for baseball, I'd be in either the penitentiary or the cemetery. |

| | If I'd just tried for them dinky singles I could've batted around 600. |
