"80 percent of the balls that don't reach the hole, don't go in. "

"A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore. "

"Baseball is 90 percent mental. The other half is physical. "

"Bill Dickey is learning me his experience. "

"He hits from both sides of the plate. He's amphibious. "

"How can a guy hit and think at the same time "

"I always thought that record would stand until it was broken. "

"I never blame myself when I'm not hitting. I just blame the bat and if it keeps up, I change bats. After all, if I know it isn't my fault that I'm not hitting, how can I get mad at myself "

"I never said most of the things I said. "

"I think Little League is wonderful. It keeps the kids out of the house. "

"I'm a lucky guy and I'm happy to be with the Yankees. And I want to thank everyone for making this night necessary. "

"I'm not going to buy my kids an encyclopedia. Let them walk to school like I did. "

"If people don't want to come out to the ballpark, nobody's going to stop 'em "

"In baseball, you don't know nothing. "

"In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not. "

"It ain't the heat, it's the humility. "

"It gets late early out there. "

"It's like deja vu all over again. "

"Ninety-nine percent of this game is half mental. "

"Nobody goes there anymore because it's too crowded. "

"So I'm ugly. I never saw anyone hit with his face. "

"The game's not over until it's over. "

"The towels were so thick there I could hardly close my suitcase. "

"We made too many wrong mistakes. "

"When you come to a fork in the road, take it. "

"You can observe a lot just by watching. "

"You got to be careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there. "

"You should always go to other people's funerals, otherwise, they won't come to yours. "
