You always get a special kick on opening day, no matter how many you go through. You look forward to it like a birthday party when you're a kid. You think something wonderful is going to happen.
From Joe DiMaggio
I'm just a ballplayer with one ambition, and that is to give all I've got to help my ball club win. I've never played any other way.
A person always doing his or her best becomes a natural leader, just by example.
I can remember a reporter asking me for a quote, and I didn't know what a quote was. I thought it was some kind of soft drink.
You start chasing a ball and your brain immediately commands your body to 'Run forward, bend, scoop up the ball, peg it to the infield,' then your body says, 'Who me?'
A ball player has to be kept hungry to become a big leaguer. That's why no boy from a rich family has ever made the big leagues.
We need a hit, so here I go.
There is always some kid who may be seeing me for the first time. I owe him my best.
I'd like to thank the good Lord for making me a Yankee.
When baseball is no longer fun, it's no longer a game.
