I don't mind getting beaten, but I hate to lose.
From Reggie Jackson
I have a hard time believing athletes are overpriced. If an owner is losing money, give it up. It's a business. I have trouble figuring out why owners would stay in if they're losing money.
I'm human and I've played my butt off for ten years. I'm not a loafer, I'm not a jerk, I'm a baseball player.
In the building I live in on Park Avenue there are ten people who could buy the Yankees, but none of them could hit the ball out of Yankee Stadium.
October, that's when they pay off for playing ball.
Please God, let me hit one. I'll tell everybody you did it.
The only reason I don't like playing in the World Series is I can't watch myself play.
The only way I'm going to win a Gold Glove is with a can of spray paint.
When you take a pitch and line it somewhere, it's like you've thought of something and put it there with beautiful clarity.
When you've played this game for ten years and gone to bat seven-thousand times and gotten two-thousand hits do you know what that really means? It means you've gone zero for five-thousand.
