Your brain commands your body to "Run forward! Bend! Scoop up the ball! Peg it to the infield!" Then your body says, "Who, me?"
Now I've had everything except for the thrill of watching Babe Ruth play.
A ball player has to be kept hungry to become a big leaguer. That's why no boy from a rich family has ever made the big leagues.
I'm a ballplayer, not an actor.
I'm just a ballplayer with one ambition, and that is to give all I've got to help my ball club win. I've never played any other way.
If anyone wants to know why three kids in one family made it to the big leagues they just had to know how we helped each other and how much we practiced back then. We did it every minute we could.
You always get a special kick on opening day, no matter how many you go through. You look forward to it like a birthday party when you're a kid. You think something wonderful is going to happen.
I'd like to thank the good Lord for making me a Yankee.
Too many kids today are playing major league ball and don't belong there.
You start chasing a ball and your brain immediately commands your body to 'Run forward, bend, scoop up the ball, peg it to the infield,' then your body says, 'Who me?'
All pitchers are born pitchers.
