	Don't let the fear of striking out hold you back.
	Every strike brings me closer to the next home run.
	Gee, its lonesome in the outfield. It's hard to keep awake with nothing to do.
	I decided to pick out the greatest hitter to watch and study, and Jackson was good enough for me.
	I didn't mean to hit the umpire with the dirt, but I did mean to hit that bastard in the stands.
	I'd give a year of my life if I could hit a homerun on opening day of this great new park.
	I'd play for half my salary if I could hit in this dump all the time.
	I've never heard a crowd boo a homer, but I've heard plenty of boos after a strikeout.
	All ballplayers should quit when it starts to feel as if all the baselines run uphill.
	Baseball changes through the years. It gets milder.
	Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world.
	Cobb is a prick. But he sure can hit. God Almighty, that man can hit.
	If it wasn't for baseball, I'd be in either the penitentiary or the cemetery.

	Reading isn't good for a ballplayer. Not good for his eyes. If my eyes went bad even a little bit I couldn't hit home runs. So I gave up reading.

	Watch my dust.
	You know how bad my voice sounds — well it feels just as bad.
	The only real game — I think — in the world is baseball.
	There's been so many lovely things said about me, and I'm glad that I've had the opportunity to thank everybody.
	Don't ever forget two things I'm going to tell you: one, don't believe everything that's written about you. Two, don't pick up too many checks.
	If I'd just tried for them dinky singles I could've batted around 600.
