There are only five things you can do in baseball: run, throw, catch, hit, and hit with power.
If you lose, you're going to be fired, and if you win, you only put off the day you're going to be fired.
God watches over drunks and third baseman.
Give me some scratching, diving, hungry ballplayers who come to kill you.
I never questioned the integrity of an umpire. Their eyesight, yes.
Nice guys finish last.
Show me a good loser and I'll show you an idiot.
I never did say that you can't be a nice guy and win. I said that if I was playing third base and my mother rounded third with the winning run, I'd trip her up.
In the olden days, the umpire didn't have to take any courses in mind reading. The pitcher told you he was going to throw at you.
Nobody ever won a pennant without a star shortstop.
You argue with the umpire because there is nothing else you can do about it.
I made a game effort to argue but two things were against me: the umpires and the rules.
