Zitat des Tages von Bob Feller:
Every day is a new opportunity. You can build on yesterday's success or put its failures behind and start over again. That's the way life is, with a new game every day, and that's the way baseball is.
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.
I would rather beat the Yankees regularly than pitch a no hit game.
I try to be a good human being and keep up with what's going on in the world by reading and staying in touch with the current events.
I was only a gun captain on the battleship Alabama for 34 months. People have called me a hero for that, but I'll tell you this - heroes don't come home. Survivors come home.
Nobody lives forever and I've had a blessed life.
Nowadays, they have more trouble packing hair dryers than baseball equipment.
Sympathy is something that shouldn't be bestowed upon the Yankees. Apparently it angers them.
I'm no hero. Heroes don't come back. Survivors return home. Heroes never come home. If anyone thinks I'm a hero, I'm not.
There was great leadership in this country at the time of World War II. There was also unrelenting resolve at home, in America's factories and on the farms, in the cities and the country.
When I pick up the ball and it feels nice and light and small I know I'm going to have a good day. But if I picked it up and it's big and heavy, I know I'm liable to get into a little trouble.
I don't think baseball owes colored people anything. I don't think colored people owe baseball anything, either.
Life comes down to honesty and doing what's right. That's what's most important.
The difference between relief pitching when I did it today is simple, there is too much of it. It's one of those cases where more is not necessarily better.
If you ask the people in Europe who won World War II, they don't say the Allies; they say the United States won the war and saved the world.
The soldiers that didn't come back were the heroes. It's a roll of the dice. If a bullet has your name on it, you're a hero. If you hear a bullet go by, you're a survivor.
I needed to join the Navy. If you ask the people in Europe who won World War II, they don't say the Allies, they say the United States won the war and saved the world.
