“When a hitter like Pete LaCock hits a grand slam off you, it’s time to hang them up.”
“Robert, the scales must be balanced no matter how long it takes.”
“In a world filled with hate, prejudice and protest, I find that I too am filled with hate, prejudice and protest. I hate phonies. I am prejudiced against all those who have contempt for me because my face is black and all those who accept me only because of my ability to throw a baseball. I am not proud of that ability. It is not something I earned or acquired or bought. It is a gift.”
“I’m proud of that fact that whatever I did, I did it my way.”
“I guess I was never much in awe of anybody. I think you have to have that attitude if you're going to go far in this game.”
“I've played a couple of hundred games of tic-tac-toe with my little daughter and she hasn't beaten me yet. I've always had to win. I've got to win.”
