I Had Many, Many, Many

I Can't Recall A Day This Year Or Last When I Did Not Hear The Name Of Babe Ruth.

The First Thing Baseball Wants To Do Is Make You A Superstar And Then Say That You Owe Baseball Something. I Don't Owe Baseball Anything. Baseball Owes Me.

I Was Being Thrown To The Wolves. Even Though I Did Something Great, Nobody Wanted To Be A Part Of It. I Was So Isolated. I Couldn't Share It. For Many Years, Even After Jackie Robinson, Baseball Was So Segregated, Really. You Just Didn't Expect Us To Have A Chance To Do Anything. Baseball Was Meant For The Lily-white.

I Would Like People Not To Think In Terms Of The 755 Home Runs I Hit But Think In Terms Of What I've Accomplished Off The Field And Some Of The Things I Stood For.

Making The Majors Is Not As Hard As Staying There, Staying Interested Day After Day. It's Like Being Married. The Hardest Part Is To Stay Married.
