It was all I lived for, to play baseball.

He who has the fastest golf cart never has a bad lie.

If I knew I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself.

It's unbelievable how much you don't know about the game you've been playing all your life.

As far as I'm concerned, Aaron is the best ball player of my era. He is to baseball of the last fifteen years what Joe DiMaggio was before him. He's never received the credit he's due.
