--Joe DiMaggio, on Opening Day
Slump ? I ain't in no slump. I just ain't hittin.
--Yogi Berra
We're supposed to be perfect our first day on the job and then show constant improvement.
--Ed Vargo, Major League Baseball Umpire
Baseball is 90% mental, the other half is physical
--Yogi Berra
Baseball players are smarter than football players. How often do you see a baseball team penalised for too many players on the field.
--Jim Boulton
All I want out of life, is that when I walk down the street folks will say, "There goes the greatest hitter that ever lived."
--Ted Williams
A hot dog at the ball park is better than steak at the Ritz.
--Humphrey Bogart
The other sports are just sports. Baseball is a love.
--Bryant Gumbel
If a man can beat you, walk him.
--Leroy (Satchel) Paige
Hitting is 50% above the shoulders.
--Ted Williams
You owe it to yourself to be the best you can possible be - in baseball and in life.
--Pete Rose
I never thought home runs were all that exciting. I still think the triple is the most exciting thing in baseball. To me, a triple is like a guy taking the ball on his 1-yard line and running 99 yards for a touchdown.
--Hank Aaron
I used to love to come to the ballpark. Now I hate it. Every day becomes a little tougher because of all this. Writers, tape recorders, microphones, cameras, questions and more questions. Roger Maris lost his hair the season he hit sixty-one. I still have all my hair, but when it's over, I'm going home to Mobile and fish for a long time.
--Hank Aaron as he closed in on Babe Ruth's career home run record.
Mickey meant an awful lot to me. He was a tremendous athlete. People didn't understand him the way they should have. He played 10 years on one leg. But more than that, he was a tremendous person.
--Hank Aaron on Mickey Mantle
Looking at the ball going over the fence isn't going to help.
--Hank Aaron
I had just turned 20, and Jackie told me the only way to be successful at anything was to go out and do it. He said baseball was a game you played every day, not once a week.
--Hank Aaron on Jackie Robinson
The pitcher has got only a ball. I've got a bat. So the percentage of weapons is in my favor and I let the fellow with the ball do the fretting.
--Hank Aaron
Trying to sneak a fastball past Hank Aaron is like trying to sneak the sunrise past a rooster.
--Joe Adcock
"Show me a guy who's afraid to look bad and I'll show you a guy you can beat every time."
--St. Louis' Lou Brock
"They can hollar at the uniform all they want, but when they hollar at the man wearing the uniform, they're in trouble."
-- Umpire Joe Brinkman
"I exploit the greed of all hitters."
--Lew Burdette
Hello again, everybody. It's a bee-yooo-tiful day for baseball!
--Harry Caray
