“When we played the Dodgers in St. Louis, they had to come through our dugout, and our bat rack was right there where they had to walk. My bats kept disappearing, and I couldn't figure it out. Turns out, Pee Wee Reese was stealing my bats. I found that out later, after we got out of baseball. He and Rube Walker stole my bats.”

“A lot of hitters stay away from the plate, some are close up, some are forward, some are back. The thing about hitting is this: You have to know the strike zone. That's the most important thing. Hit strikes and put the bat on the ball.”

“It needs to be said, over and over again, that Stan the Man was voted by 'The Sporting News' as the best baseball player of the postwar decade, from 1946 through 1955.”

“You've got to play every game until it's over. Baseball is a funny game, so you never know what's going to happen.”

“When you talk about 50 or so grown men in the middle of a baseball field about to break down and cry, it's a little bit of an uncomfortable situation. We're baseball players and we're guys that are filled with ego.”
