“There is always some kid who may be seeing me for the first time. I owe him my best.”

Baseball didn’t really get into my blood until I knocked off that hitting streak. Getting a daily hit became more important to me than eating, drinking or sleeping.

At my age, I’m just happy to be named the greatest living anything.

I want to thank the good lord for making me a yankee

I feel like I have reached the stage where I can no longer produce for my club, my manager, and my teammates.

In that case Mr. Barrow, Mr. Gehrig is a very underpaid ballplayer.

I played my best everyday. You never know when someone may be seeing you play for the first time.

Putting the Yankee uniform on every day.

If you keep thinking about what you want to do or what you hope will happen, you don’t do it, and it won’t happen.

I no longer have it (desire to play).

The absolute worst thing a person can say about your pictures is, ‘”That’s nice.” It’s the kiss of death.

It’s got to be better than rooming with Joe Page.

You start chasing a ball and your brain immediately commands your body to ‘Run forward, bend, scoop up the ball, peg it to the infield,’ then your body says, ‘Who me?’

I’m proud to have been a Yankee. But I have found more happiness and contentment since I came back home to San Francisco than any man has a right to deserve. This is the friendliest city in the world.

I think there are some players born to play ball.

When you have five or six potential hall of famers on your team … that’s when you win penants and championships. The only thing you have to be concerned about is getting the ballplayers to bed on time.

After I got that hit off Satchel (Paige), I knew I was ready for the big leagues.

You are always your own best guru, your own best teacher, the answers are always inside you.

I don’t fear anyone. I just concentrate on giving my best.

I’m focused on going out every day and doing my best.

I’m just a girl, With a dream that got the best of me, In a world that believes fame is everything.

You should always take a religion at its best and not at its worst, from its highest teachings and not from the lowest practices of some of its adherents.

Sometimes a loss is the best thing that can happen. It teaches you what you should have done next time.

My best wishes are with Indian cricket in general. I wish each one of our cricketers success at the international and domestic level.

England is a very strong league, with three or four of the best teams in Europe, but, if I had played there, I would have destroyed it, like I have everywhere else.
