Nobody saw it, he (Rogers Hornsby) hit it and it disappeared.

Well I can't rightly say (which player hit the ball hardest), but the ones (home runs by) Ruth hit got smaller quicker.

Can I throw harder than Joe Wood? Listen mister, no man alive can throw any harder than Smoky Joe Wood.

You can't hit what you can't see I float like a butterfly and sting like a bee!

The beanball is one of the meanest things on Earth and no decent fellow would use it. The beanball is a potential murderer. If I were a batter and thought the pitcher really tried to bean me, I'd be inclined to wait for him outside the park with a baseball bat.

I throw as hard as I can when I think I have to throw as hard as I can.

The cost of anything is the foregone alternative.

(Bob) Feller isn't quite as fast as I was.
