I knew after the fourth inning that I would throw a no-hitter. I had complete command. In the last inning I don't care who was up -- Willie Mays, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle -- nobody was getting a hit off me.

We drew 438,000 people in Candlestick in 1975 (actually 522,925). The only time people came out was when I would pop off and say something. It was show business.

If you've got a guy who can hit well from both sides of the plate, he's the greatest weapon you can have.

Check all the records from 1958 to 1970 and we won a hell of a lot of ball games. We won 92 or 93 games a year, but somebody always won more. It seems that some ball club was having a great year and we couldn't get over the hump. At times, I think we didn't manufacture runs like we should have. We kind of lived and died by the home run. We didn't always play good situational baseball. By that I mean moving the runners along, hit and run, the little things which win ballgames.

Greaseball, greaseball, greaseball. That's all I throw him and he still hits them. He's the only player in baseball who consistently hits my grease. He sees the ball so well, I guess he can pick out the dry side.

HOF 1991
Baseball is a game, yes. It is also a business. But what it most truly is is disguised combat. For all its gentility, its almost leisurely pace, baseball is violence under wraps.

HOF 1979; a.k.a. "Say Hey Kid"
I can't tell you about moments because I wasn't into that. I just played every day and enjoyed what I was doing. When I made a great catch it was just routine. I didn't worry about it. Winning was important. Winning.

HOF 1979; a.k.a. "Say Hey Kid"
He had a routine to everything he did. The way he set his chair, the way he left his towel on the chair. The way he smoked a cigarette. He'd come back into the clubhouse and smoke a cigarette, take like three puffs and put it out. He had so many rituals, I don't know how the hell he remembered everything. I played with him in winter ball, and just going out to the mound and back to the dugout, there were ten things that he did, every inning. It was crazy.
