The phrase 'off with the crack of the bat', while romantic, is really meaningless, since the outfielder should be in motion long before he hears the sound of the ball meeting the bat.
From Joe DiMaggio
If anyone wants to know why three kids in one family made it to the big leagues they just had to know how we helped each other and how much we practiced back then. We did it every minute we could.
I'm a ballplayer, not an actor.
I feel like I have reached the stage where I can no longer produce for my club, my manager, and my teammates.
I think there are some players born to play ball.
Too many kids today are playing major league ball and don't belong there.
All pitchers are born pitchers.
Now I've had everything except for the thrill of watching Babe Ruth play.
