A life which did not touch the life of others is a wasted life!
I don't think anyone ever liked to play more than I did.
If a ballplayer is satisfied, he's going to slip. You have to keep fighting to improve.
All small men, all non-power hitters, must learn to bunt well. It's half your game.
No one had to tell me I was never going to be a home run hitter. I was hitting the same ball as the rest of the players, but when the big guys cracked one, it went out of the park. Mine went out of the infield.
What is the top requirement for a second baseman? A fine shortstop. I am fortunate in having the greatest shortstop in baseball, Luis Aparicio.
We won (the pennant) because we've got a superior ball club. Not many stars perhaps, but the kind of team that always plays well together.
[Personal] industry must be faint and languid, which is not excited by the sense of personal interest.
I laugh at it now, but one time I had an agent tell me I would never work in TV if I didn't get a nose job. People tell you to change yourself to fit into the L. A. scene, but the advice usually doesn't make any sense. The next agent told me my nose was great!
I grew up in North Carolina, and I grew up on wrestling.
I look at how my kids view exercise. They have a complete understanding that nutrition and exercise go hand in hand. I didn't think like that when I was a kid. But they have a real consciousness about it that I'd like to think comes from the years of attention we've put into this.
