When I pick up the ball and it feels nice and light and small I know I'm going to have a good day. But if I picked it up and it's big and heavy, I know I'm liable to get into a little trouble.
From Bob Feller
The difference between relief pitching when I did it today is simple, there is too much of it. It's one of those cases where more is not necessarily better.
Baseball is only a game, a game of inches and a lot of luck. During a time of all-out war, sports are very insignificant.
If you believe your catcher is intelligent and you know that he has considerable experience, it is a good thing to leave the game almost entirely in his hands.
I was only a gun captain on the battleship Alabama for 34 months. People have called me a hero for that, but I'll tell you this - heroes don't come home. Survivors come home.
I needed to join the Navy. If you ask the people in Europe who won World War II, they don't say the Allies, they say the United States won the war and saved the world.
I would rather beat the Yankees regularly than pitch a no hit game.
Nowadays, they have more trouble packing hair dryers than baseball equipment.
Sympathy is something that shouldn't be bestowed upon the Yankees. Apparently it angers them.
My father loved baseball and he cultivated my talent. I don't think he ever had any doubt in his mind that I would play professional baseball someday.
