Back then, my idol was Bugs Bunny, because I saw a cartoon of him playing ball - you know, the one where he plays every position himself with nobody else on the field but him? Now that I think of it, Bugs is still my idol. You have to love a ballplayer like that.

I'm not saying that they were Einsteins they were marginal students. But every ballplayer whoever touched me has moved up his station in life. And the players moved up my station.

I never saw anyone like Ty Cobb. No one even close to him as the greatest all-time ballplayer. That guy was superhuman, amazing.

I haven't seen a player in this game, as long as I've been in it, that can't be pitched to... Barry is an outstanding ballplayer. I respect him an awful lot. I also have confidence in my pitchers that they can pitch to Barry Bonds and get him out.

Any ballplayer that don't sign autographs for little kids ain't an American. He's a communist.

Im not an Athlete, Im a ballplayer

I refuse to be molded into some stereotypical ballplayer that has no interests, really, no life, no depth, no intelligence.

Gehrig had one advantage over me. He was a better ballplayer.

As a ballplayer, I would be delighted to do it again. As an individual, I doubt if I could possibly go through it again.

Man, I've got a Rolls-Royce. Big house. Limo. All those things. This is why every kid's dream is to be a major-league ballplayer.

The biggest thrill a ballplayer can have is when your son takes after you. That happened when my Bobby was in his championship Little League game. He really showed me something. Struck out three times. Made an error that lost the game. Parents were throwing things at our car and swearing at us as we drove off. Gosh, I was proud.

As a ballplayer, you just want to feel respected. I like the way Washington presented the team to me and I feel good about what was being said.

The difference between the old ballplayer and the new ballplayer is the jersey. The old ballplayer cared about the name on the front. The new ballplayer cares about the name on the back.

(Bill) Terry, you can ask for more money in the winter and do less in the summer than any ballplayer I know.
John McGraw

I'm a ballplayer, not an actor.

During my 18 years I came to bat almost 10,000 times. I struck out about 1,700 times and walked maybe 1,800 times. You figure a ballplayer will average about 500 at-bats a season. That means I played 7 years without ever hitting the ball.
Mickey Mantle

The best ballplayer's the one who doesn't think he made good. He keeps trying to convince you.
Casey Stengel
Image
The more self-centered and egotistical a guy is, the better ballplayer he's going to be.
Bill Lee
Image
If I would be happy, I would be a bad ballplayer. With me, when I get mad, it puts energy in my body.
Roberto Clemente

A coach can't be concerned with the poor ballplayer. If the player can't make it, he's got to be out right away. It's a very tough aspect of coaching, and in this aspect I was weak. Also, some guys get fat on coaching, they get healthy and strong, but other guys get ulcers.
