It's unbelievable how much you don't know about the game you've been playing all your life.

HOF 1974; a.k.a., "The Commerce Comet"
Drop a ball from a 20-foot ladder and have me try to hit it, going straight down. Even for the best hitters in the world, that's gonna be tough to do. Now give me a 100-mph fastball -- straight, in the zone -- I'll hit it every time. I may not get a hit, but I'm gonna hit it. But if you do it the other way, that's what a curveball does. A good curveball with a lot of break, it's not necessarily that I don't recognize it, but it's moving so much that it's tougher to square up.

Yeah, but the last time you faced him was this same inning.

HOF 1966
I didn't begin cheating until late in my career when I needed something to help me survive. I didn't cheat when I won the 25 games in 1961. I don't want anybody to get any ideas and take my Cy Young Award away. And I didn't cheat in 1963 when I won 24 games. Well, maybe a little.

What's everyone blaming me for? Blame Felix. I wouldn't have hit into the double plays if he hadn't hit singles.

Why pitch nine innings when you can get just as famous pitching two?

One rule I had was make your best pitch and back up third base. That relay might get away and you've got another shot at him.

Pitcher
HOF 1972
Never let a pitcher who lost a tough game that afternoon be your driver that night. The fellow gets beaten 2 to 1 or 1 to 0. Maybe somebody booted one and cost him the ball game. Maybe the umpire missed a strike on him, or maybe somebody popped up with a chance to win the game. The pitcher gets behind that wheel and he gets brooding over what happened that afternoon. Life doesn't mean anything to him, his or the lives of the guys riding with him. He takes curves at fifty miles an hour and tries to run trucks off the road. What does he care? He just lost a tough ball game.
Charles Dillon "Casey" Stengel

HOF 1966
"Baseball For Everyone" by Joe DiMaggio (1948)
In the matter of gloves, it is up to the player himself to provide himself with a mitt which he can handle comfortably and deftly. Hank Greenberg played first base for Detroit with a glove so large that rival managers called it the "crab net," and there was even some talk of protesting to the league that it was illegal. Yet when Greenberg went to the outfield for the Tigers and Rudy York played first, York wore a glove that looked hardly larger than the mitten used by the motorman of a trolley car.
