The highlight of my baseball career came in Philadelphia's Connie Mack Stadium when I saw a fan fall out of the upper deck. When he got up and walked away, the crowd booed.

I knew when my career was over. In 1965 my baseball card came out with no picture.

People don't know this, but I helped the Cardinals win the pennant. I came down with hepatitis. The trainer injected me with it!

I signed a very modest $3,000 bonus with the Braves in Milwaukee. And my old man didn't have that kinda money to put out.

They broke it to me gently. The manager came up to me before a game and told me they didn't allow visitors in the clubhouse.

Between me and my roommate, we've hit 400 Major League home runs.

In 1962 I was named Minor League Player of the Year. It was my second season in the bigs.

Love your enemy; it will ruin his reputation.

With all its faults, the American political system is the freest and most democratic in the world.

That's what I take pride in in my stand-up, is changing things up. Being special.

I would like to make a film to tell children "it's good to be alive".

I think I'm smart unless I'm really, really in love and then I am ridiculously stupid.

They do most by Books, who could do much without them, and he that chiefly owes himself unto himself, is the substantial Man.

You want the world to be set up for you, but sometimes it just isn't.
