I’m the guy that made Joe DiMaggio famous.
I couldn’t speak enough Spanish. I couldn’t make myself understood on that club.
I was never nervous when I had the ball, but when I let go I was scared to death.
I had been having trouble with my eyes. One day my glasses fogged up while I was pitching, but when I cleaned them and looked at the plate and saw Foxx clearly, it frightened me so much I never wore them again.
Only triple I ever got.
I don’t know. I’ve never been on second before.
Jimmy Foxx could hit me at midnight with the lights out.
The secret of my success was clean living and a fast outfield.
I want to thank all my teammates who scored so many runs and Joe DiMaggio, who ran down so many of my mistakes.
We lost 14 straight. Then we had a game rained out and it felt so good we had a victory dinner.
I was the worst hitter ever. I never even broke a bat until last year when I was backing out of the garage.
I’d rather not throw the ball at all.
He knew he was Joe DiMaggio, and he knew what that meant to the country.
A lot of things run through your head when you’re going in to relieve in a tight spot. One of them was, “Should I spike myself?”
I don’t want to throw him nothing. Maybe he’ll just get tired of waiting and leave.
He’s in a rut. Gehringer goes two for five on opening day and stays that way all season.
If you don’t throw it, they can’t hit it.
When I first signed with the Yankees, the regulars wouldn’t talk to you until you were with the team three or four years. Nowadays the rookies get $100,000 to sign and they don’t talk to the regulars.
I never had a bad night in my life, but I’ve had a few bad mornings.
I talked to the ball a lot of times in my career. I yelled, “Go foul. Go foul.”
