3rd Commissioner of Baseball, 1951-1965
HOF 1970
I immediately got the feeling I was wrong on the call when every Baltimore guy on the field charged at me with intent to maim.
My dad wanted me to have everything that everybody else had. I think the first thing that he ever bought me was a football. I was very young, and he didn't know a lot about it; he came from the old country. I mean, we tried to pass it and throw it and kick it, we couldn't do it, and it was very discouraging for him, and for me. And almost, we almost quit. Finally we had a nice enough neighbor who came over and put some air in it. What a difference!

My battles with (Yankees owner George) Steinbrenner were an everyday part of life.

5th Commissioner of Baseball, 1969-1984
HOF 2008
For some of us, baseball has meant the pleasantest way of making a living that man has discovered. I loved it so, especially in the days before air travel and before night games when baseball was such a leisurely entertainment and covering it such a leisurely occupation. I loved every moment of it, even the weeks of hit and run barnstorming tours home from training camp when, for two weeks or so, home was an open Pullman berth. I'm happy to have had a chance to be a baseball writer, and right now....I'd rather be a moose or a salmon, because when they're stuffed and mounted, they're dead and it doesn't make them so nervous.
In 1977
