BASEBALL QUOTES
.
"Today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth." (during his retirement ceremony on July 4, 1939.)
.
When asked whether he minded playing in the shadow of the Bambino all the time: "Babe Ruth has a pretty big shadow, it gives me lots of room to spread myself."
.
"There is no room in baseball for discrimination. It is our national pastime and a game for all." (on baseball's infamous color barrier)
.
"The ballplayer who loses his head, who can't keep his cool, is worse than no ballplayer at all."

ENDORSEMENT:
.
LUCKIEST MAN (see book cover above) is the best
biography I've ever read, sports or otherwise.
.
Others must agree because it is a former New York
Times best seller.
.
If you should have just one biography to read in life,
Luckiest Man should be your choice; it is superbly
written and leaves you breathless from its extraordinary
research and startling detail of one man's life.

DISCLAIMER:

via email, I am endorsing this book on my own without any
