Joe DiMaggio

When I played ball, I didn’t play for fun. . . . It’s no pink tea, and mollycoddles had better stay out. It’s a contest and everything that implies, a struggle for supremacy, a survival of the fittest.

Ty Cobb

Slump? I ain’t in no slump… I just ain’t hitting.

Ted Williams

Just take the ball and throw it where you want to. Throw strikes. Home plate don’t move.

Satchel Paige
