You could have knocked the bat out of my hand with a straw when I saw the Cardinals break out their tricky shift the first time I came up. I never expected it. The Cards had said they weren't going to try any funny defense on me. Boy, did they pull a fast one....I did get a kick out of one thing. I got a single to right field over the third baseman's head. Brother, that's one for the books. (And) I don't know what the reaction was among the Cardinals when I laid down that bunt...with the wind blowing in and nobody covering third base, I thought it was the only thing I could do. If the Cardinals wish to play me that way the rest of the Series, it's OK by me.

HOF 1936
I'm just beginning to realize that baseball is at least 65% psychological. (Manager Ted) Williams has these guys so psyched they actually think they're great ballplayers. (Shortstop Ed) Brinkman's starting to think he's a hitter for chrissakes and he's hit .200 all his life. Now he's up to .280. The team is up, the guys are emotionally high and Williams actually has them believing they're winners.
