"Mr. Rickey, I'll put more people in the park than anybody since Babe Ruth." — Dizzy Dean

Practice, work hard, and give it everything you have.

I was blessed with a strong arm and a weak mind.

I never keep a scorecard or the batting averages. I hate statistics. What I got to know, I keep in my head.

The good Lord was good to me. He gave me a strong body, a good right arm, and a weak mind.
