Quotes of 1949

Quotes taken from the authors in 1949

Baseball is a game of averages, but over a short period of time, to have a little luck going is not a bad thing.

I'd rather not, but if it will help the club, I'll do it. My ankle injury still bothers me sometimes.

Baseball's what I do.

I feel like I'm walking on eggs and can't take another step.

I don't have the acting skills my daughter has.

I think I have already signed some scrap of paper for every man, woman, and child in the United States. What do they do with all those scraps of paper with my signature on it?

I keep telling myself, don't get cocky. Give your services to the press and the media, be nice to the kids, throw a baseball into the stands once in a while.

It's a weird scene. You win a few baseball games and all of a sudden you're surrounded by reporters and TV men with cameras asking you about Vietnam and race relations.

Sometimes in this game it's as good to be lucky as it is to be good.

I hope that people will realize that the struggle to make a life better with a sibling is worth it.

Traveling in India gives you a chance to observe a renaissance.

Now in India, a village boy who has worked his way up to work at a call center, or if he gets a job working even as a busboy in a Taj or an Oberoi hotel, he'll put on his wedding announcement with pride, 'Busboy at the Taj' or 'Call center, Office Tiger.'

To be able to go the distance with a brother or sister, to have them turn into your ally, is about the greatest thing that can ever happen to you.

Rugby is great. The players don't wear helmets or padding; they just beat the living daylights out of each other and then go for a beer. I love that.

No matter how great you are, the next great one is already sitting there waiting to take your place.

Nobody in football should be called a genius. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein.

I was always told that I was too small, too skinny, too slow, not tough enough, and I never ever believed what people told me.

This is a game, first and foremost. There was only one Vince Lombardi, and he died.

I dread handshakes. I've got some problems with my hands, and everywhere I go, people want to impress me with their grip. To make it worse, now women are coming up with that firm shake.

When I was a boxer, I wanted to be champion of the world, not the richest man in the world.
