At My Age, I'm Just

Putting The Yankee Uniform On Every Day.

A Ball Player Has To Be Kept Hungry To Become A Big Leaguer. That's Why No Boy From A Rich Family Has Ever Made The Big Leagues.

I Feel Like I Have Reached The Stage Where I Can No Longer Produce For My Club, My Manager, And My Teammates. I Had A Poor Year, But Even If I Had Hit .350, This Would Have Been My Last Year. I Was Full Of Aches An Pains And It Had Become A Chore For Me To Play. When Baseball Is No Longer Fun, It's No Longer A Game.

The Reason I Play So Hard Is That Somewhere Out There Is Some Kid Who Has Never Seen Me Play Before, And I Don't Want To Disappoint Him.

After I Got That Hit Off Satchel (paige), I Knew I Was Ready For The Big Leagues.
