"As far as I'm concerned, Aaron is the best ball player of my era. He is to baseball of the last fifteen years what Joe DiMaggio was before him. He's never received the credit he's due."
Joe DiMaggio
"I'd like to thank the good Lord for making me a Yankee."
"I'm just a ballplayer with one ambition, and that is to give all I've got to help my ball club win. I've never played any other way."
"There is always some kid who may be seeing me for the first or last time, I owe him my best."

Ted Williams
"If you don't think too good, don't think too much"
"There's only one way to become a hitter. Go up to the plate and get mad. Get mad at yourself and mad at the pitcher."
"If I was being paid thirty-thousand dollars a year, the very least I could do was hit .400."
"DiMaggio was the greatest all-around player I ever saw. His career cannot be summed up in numbers and awards. It might sound corny, but he had a profound and lasting impact on the country."
"If there was ever a man born to be a hitter it was me."
