This is the type of thing that as a kid you dream about. Something I've done in my backyard a hundred times. And you never know if you're going to get the opportunity to do it.

I'm never satisfied. I can't stand satisifaction. To me, greatness comes from that quest for perfection.

HOF 1995
It all looks so easy from the dugout. It's called the 'dirt rule'. The farther you get away from the dirt, the easier this game looks. It looks pretty darned easy from the upper deck. And, like I say, it looks easy to me now. I'm sitting in the dugout, and I see a guy try to pull an outside pitch, he hits a slow ground ball to second base, and it drives me crazy. I'm thinking, 'Why does he do that? Why is this guy so stupid?' Of course, I must have done the exact same thing 5000 times when I was a player.

HOF 1999
Hitting is a strange thing. You're so smart talking about hitting, and then you step into the batter's box, and something happens to you. You get stupid. It's like everything goes out the window. You step into the batter's box, and immediately you turn into a third-grader. Fortunately, pitchers are like second-graders.

HOF 1999
I'd hit 35 homers and drive in 110 runs and I'd be an MVP candidate. With those numbers today, I'd bat eighth. When I'm 70, 80 years old, I'm going to be ashamed to admit I'm in that pitiful, little 500-home run club when there are 30 guys in the 800-home run club.

We have a lot of guys hurt, but all we can do is put our best foot forward and try not to sprain it.

As the ball left the bat, I said to myself two things. The first thing I said was, 'Hello, double.' The second thing I said was, 'Oh (bleep), HE'S out there."
Cletis Leroy "Clete" Boyer

It was the first time I used that bat. A Yankee fan in Chicago gave it to me the last time we were there and said it would bring me luck. There's no brand name on it or anything. Maybe the guy made it himself. It had been in the bat rack, and I picked it up by mistake because it looked like the bat I had been using the last few days.

Everything you hate about New York as a visitor, you love as a home player.

It's gonna be harder for guys to last as long to get 3,000. I think with 500 homers, if guys are hot when they first get in the league you might be able to do it, but 3,000 hits, that's a long time being very consistent and just hard to do.
