1. "As far as I'm concerned, (Hank) 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."

2. "Now I've had everything except for the thrill of watching Babe Ruth play."

3. "If he'd (Ted Williams) just tip his cap once he could be elected Mayor of Boston in five minutes."

4. "Look for the seams (on a knuckleball) and then hit in-between them."

5. "The key to hitting for high average is to relax, concentrate, and don't hit the fly ball to center field."

6. "You wait for a strike, then you knock the sh*t out of it."

7. "I've cheated, or someone on my team has cheated, in almost every single game I've been in."

8. "Any ballplayer that don't sign autographs for little kids ain't an American. He's a communist."

9. "A woman will be elected President before Wade Boggs is called out on strikes. I guarantee that."

10. "RBIs win games; and they can make you a ton of money."

11. "I'm disappointed it's come to a time when they boo me. And then to turn around and have the nerve to cheer for you, that's the way baseball goes."

12. "I never smile when I have a bat in my hands. That's when you've got to be serious. When I get out on the field, nothing's a joke to me. I don't feel like I should walk around with a smile on my face."

13. "They're (hitting slumps) like sleeping in a soft bed. Easy to get into and hard to get out of."

14. "If my uniform doesn't get dirty, I haven't done anything in the baseball game."

15. "That god damned Dutchman (Honus Wagner) is the only man in the game I can't scare."

16. "I could never be a manager. All I have is natural ability."

17. "As long as I have fun playing, the stats will take care of themselves."

18. "Why should I stretch? Does a cheetah stretch before it chases its prey?"

19. "(Ty) Cobb is a prick. But he sure can hit. God Almighty, that man can hit."

20. "Just one (superstition). Whenever I hit a home run, I make certain I touch all four bases."
