You can build on yesterday&#8217;s success or put its failures behind and start over again. That&#8217;s the way life is, with a new game every day, and that&#8217;s the way baseball is.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;The soldiers that didn&#8217;t come back were the heroes. It&#8217;s a roll of the dice. If a bullet has your name on it, you&#8217;re a hero. If you hear a bullet go by, you&#8217;re a survivor.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;The difference between relief pitching when I did it today is simple, there is too much of it. It&#8217;s one of those cases where more is not necessarily better.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;You can talk about teamwork on a baseball team, but I&#8217;ll tell you, it takes teamwork when you have 2,900 men stationed on the U.S.S. Alabama in the South Pacific.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;My father kept me busy from dawn to dusk when I was a kid. When I wasn&#8217;t pitching hay, hauling corn or running a tractor, I was heaving a baseball into his mitt behind the barn&#8230; If all the parents in the country followed his rule, juvenile delinquency would be cut in half in a year&#8217;s time.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;My father kept me busy from dawn to dusk when I was a kid.

During a time of all-out war, sports are very insignificant. &#8220;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;I would rather beat the Yankees regularly than pitch a no hit game.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;My father loved baseball and he cultivated my talent. I don&#8217;t think he ever had any doubt in his mind that I would play professional baseball someday.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think baseball owes colored people anything. I don&#8217;t think colored people owe baseball anything, either. &#8220;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;If you ask the people in Europe who won World War II, they don&#8217;t say the Allies; they say the United States won the war and saved the world.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;I went on inactive duty in August 1945, and since I had stayed in such good shape and had played ball on military teams, I was ready to start for the Indians just two days later, against the Tigers.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;I was only a gun captain on the battleship Alabama for 34 months. People have called me a hero for that, but I&#8217;ll tell you this &#8211; heroes don&#8217;t come home. Survivors come home.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;Sympathy is something that shouldn&#8217;t be bestowed upon the Yankees. Apparently it angers them.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;If you believe your catcher is intelligent and you know that he has considerable experience, it is a good thing to leave the game almost entirely in his hands.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Every day is a new opportunity.
