HOF 1936
Contributed by: Jonathan Chapman
Check all the records from 1958 to 1970 and we won a hell of a lot of ball games. We won 92 or 93 games a year, but somebody always won more. It seems that some ball club was having a great year and we couldn't get over the hump. At times, I think we didn't manufacture runs like we should have. We kind of lived and died by the home run. We didn't always play good situational baseball. By that I mean moving the runners along, hit and run, the little things which win ballgames.

HOF 1936

Greaseball, greaseball, greaseball. That's all I throw him and he still hits them. He's the only player in baseball who consistently hits my grease. He sees the ball so well, I guess he can pick out the dry side.

HOF 1991
Baseball is a game, yes. It is also a business. But what it most truly is is disguised combat. For all its gentility, its almost leisurely pace, baseball is violence under wraps.
