As much as we disliked the Yankees, fans and players alike, they were good for baseball. They consistently unsuccessful teams like the Browns, Senators, and A's paid a lot of their bills with those big crowds that poured through the gates when the Yankees came to town.

Baseball in the Navy always was much more fun than it had been in the major leagues.

Every day is a new opportunity. You can build on yesterday's success or put its failures behind and start over again. That's the way life is, with a new game every day, and that's the way baseball is.

I don't think baseball owes colored people anything. I don't think colored people owe baseball anything, either.

I just reared back and let them go.

I would rather beat the Yankees regularly than pitch a no hit game.

Sympathy is something that shouldn't be bestowed upon the Yankees. Apparently it angers them.

When I pick up the ball and it feels nice and light and small I know I'm going to have a good day. But if I picked it up and it's big and heavy, I know I'm liable to get into a little trouble.
Bob Feller
Where the ball went was up to heaven. Sometimes I threw the ball clean up into the stands.
Bob Feller
You figure they cheat at the ballpark, they'll cheat on the golf course, they'll cheat in business, and anything else in life. Players may laugh about it and say it's funny, but right down in their heart, they don't think it's funny at all, and they have no respect for a person who cheats.
