"Baseball's future? Bigger and bigger, better and better! No question about it, it's the greatest game there is!"

“God gets you to the plate, but once you're there your on your own.”

“If I was being paid thirty-thousand dollars a year, the very least I could do was hit .400.”

“Why do they cheer me for hitting a homer and then boo me for grounding out the next time up. I'm still the same guy, ain't I? They can all go to hell. I'll never tip my cap to them.”

“The unbelievable part about the Babe, of course, was that he hit only 34 homers in the first two-thirds of the season and then smacked 26 homers in the final third. Wow! What a way to finish!”

“Hmmm... wait until Foxx sees me hit.”

“I sure have. I'd like to break every hitting record in the books. When I walk down the street, I'd like for them to say, "There goes Ted Williams, the best hitter in baseball.”
