There are only five things you can do in baseball - run, throw, catch, hit and hit with power.

In the olden days, the umpire didn't have to take any courses in mind reading. The pitcher told you he was going to throw at you.

Baseball is like church. Many attend few understand.

To some it's a six-pack, to me it's a "support group". Salvation in a can!

Buy a steak for a player on another club after the game, but don't even speak to him on the field. Get out there and beat them to death.

Give me some scratching, diving, hungry ballplayers who come to kill you.

One hears - one does not seek; one takes - one does not ask who gives.

We knew we did not want to record at Impulse Studios again, after the experience of recording in a 'real' studio in London for the Radio One session we did.

I don't believe in sort of holding back, you know, life isn't a dress rehearsal!

It has always been Oscar Peterson. He is my Rachmaninoff.
