"From the start catching appealed to me as a chance to be in the thick of the game continuously. I never had to be lonely behind the plate where I could talk to the hitters. I also learned that by engaging them in conversation I could sometimes distract them.""I never want to quit playing ball. They'll have to cut this uniform off me to get me out of it.""If life in general was a baseball game in the National or American League, this country wouldn't have these problems today.""My head ain't his bread and butter.""Newk, you better do somethin', because when I signal for the express you throws me the local.""Pro sports are a tough business-whether you're in baseball, football or something else. But when you're running around the bases after hitting a home run or jumping up and down after a touchdown, a little boy comes to the surface.""Secrecy is the idea behind the signs a catcher gives a pitcher, but a few catchers are so bad at keeping secrets that you can discover what the next pitch is going to be from a seat in the stands.""They scouted me and were about to sign me. I went into Mr. [Branch] Rickey's office and sat across the table from him. He told me he had scouts watching me for months. There was no question I could play. What he couldn't tell was my habits. Did I drink? Did I run around with women? Would I embarrass the club with my conduct?

You've got to be a man to play baseball for a living, but you've got to have a lot of little boy in you, too. |
