A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore.

If people don't want to come out to the ball park, nobody's gonna stop 'em.

You don't have to swing hard to hit a home run. If you got the timing, it'll go.

It gets late early out there.

I never said most of the things I said.

It's like deja-vu, all over again.

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

It ain't the heat, it's the humility.

If you ask me anything I don't know, I'm not going to answer.

There are some people who, if they don't already know, you can't tell 'em.

Even Napoleon had his Watergate.

Pair up in threes.

He hits from both sides of the plate. He's amphibious.

The towels were so thick there I could hardly close my suitcase.

We made too many wrong mistakes.

Half the lies they tell about me aren't true.

It was impossible to get a conversation going, everybody was talking too much.

I never said half the things I said.

I enjoy now doing what I do... playing golf, relaxing a little, enjoying life.

I'm a lucky guy and I'm happy to be with the Yankees. And I want to thank everyone for making this night necessary.

Mickey Mantle was a very good golfer, but we weren't allowed to play golf during the season; only at spring training.

We have deep depth.

You wouldn't have won if we'd beaten you.

I don't like seeing myself on television. I don't like it.

Congratulations. I knew the record would stand until it was broken.

I'm glad I was in the Navy.

Almost every Monday I have a charity thing. I like that. I do.
