I had only one superstition. I made sure to touch all the bases when I hit a home run.

Reading isn't good for a ballplayer. Not good for his eyes. If my eyes went bad even a little bit I couldn't hit home runs. So I gave up reading.

Every strike brings me closer to the next home run.

The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. 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.

You just can't beat the person who never gives up.

Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world.

Yesterday's home runs don't win today's games.
