I'll never forget September 6, 1950. I got a letter threatening me, Hank Bauer, Yogi Berra, and Johnny Mize. It said if I showed up in uniform against the Red Sox I'd be shot. I turned the letter over to the FBI and told my manager Casey Stengel about it. You know what Casey did? He gave me a different uniform and gave mine to Billy Martin.

HOF 1972

There was buried in Ruth humanitarianism beyond belief, an intelligence he was never given credit for, a childish desire to be over-virile, living up to credits given his home-run power -- and yet a need for intimate affection and respect, and a feverish desire to play baseball, perform, act and live a life he didn't and couldn't take time to understand.

On friend, teammate, and legend, Babe Ruth

HOF 1936

(Yankees pitcher Johnny) Broaca starts pitching to (Red Sox IF Joe) Cronin and he's not coming close to the plate. I couldn't believe it -- he's walking Cronin to get to (Red Sox 1B Jimmy) Foxx. I yelled out to (Yankees catcher) Bill Dickey, "What the hell's going on?" Bill just shrugged. There wasn't anything we could do about it. And Broaca was pitching such a good game I couldn't take him out. So Foxx comes up and now the tying run is on second. And Jimmy laid into one. He hit it into deep center field, as far as any ball I ever saw hit in Yankee Stadium that wasn't a home run. (Yankees CF Joe) DiMaggio went out there and caught it. It didn't miss by much from going into the bleachers in dead center. DiMaggio caught it and the game was over.

Broaca later said he was afraid of Cronin but knew he could get Foxx, one of the most feared hitters in baseball, despite the huge risk
