Carolina Men’s Baseball

All pitchers are born pitchers.

You start chasing a ball and your brain immediately commands your body to 'Run forward, bend, scoop up the ball, peg it to the infield,' then your body says, 'Who me?'

A ball player has to be kept hungry to become a big leaguer. That's why no boy from a rich family has ever made the big leagues.

I can remember a reporter asking me for a quote, and I didn't know what a quote was. I thought it was some kind of soft drink.

I'd like to thank the good Lord for making me a Yankee.

Pair up in threes.

There is always some kid who may be seeing me for the first time. I owe him my best.

When baseball is no longer fun, it's no longer a game.

You always get a special kick on opening day, no matter how many you go through. You look forward to it like a birthday party when you're a kid. You think something wonderful is going to happen.

"People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring."

"Players who stand flat footed and swing with their arms are golfers, not hitters."

It’s déjà vu all over again. 

Ninety percent of the game is half mental.

Little League baseball is a very good thing because it keeps the parents off the streets.  

How can you hit and think at the same time. 

I'm not going to buy my kids an encyclopedia. Let them walk to school like I did.

Nobody goes there anymore; it's too crowded.

It ain't over till it's over.

Age is a question of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it don't matter.

How old would you be if you didn't  know how old you are?

Avoid running at all times.

Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you.

If I had played my career hitting singles like Pete Rose, I'd wear a dress.

If I knew I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself.

Somebody once asked me if I ever went up to the plate trying to hit a home run. I said, 'Sure, every time.'

Well, baseball was my whole life. Nothing's ever been as fun as baseball.

You don't realize how easy this game is until you get up in that broadcasting booth.

It's unbelievable how much you don't know about the game you've been playing all your life.

I always loved the game, but when my legs weren't hurting it was a lot easier to love.

He who has the fastest golf cart never has a bad lie.

A team is where a boy can prove his courage on his own. A gang is where a coward goes to hide.

The only rule I got is if you slide, get up.

The other day they asked me about mandatory drug testing. I said I believed in drug testing a long time ago. All through the sixties I tested everything.

There's nothing in the world like the fatalism of the Red Sox fans, which has been bred into them for generations by that little green ballpark, and the wall, and by a team that keeps trying to win by hitting everything out of sight and just out-bombarding everyone else in the league. All this makes Boston fans a little crazy and I'm sorry for them.

All right everyone, line up alphabetically according to your height.

 Good pitching will always stop good hitting and vice-versa.

The key to being a good manager is keeping the people who hate me away from those who are still undecided.

I was such a dangerous hitter I even got intentional walks during batting practice.
