Listen up, because I've got nothing to say and I'm only gonna to say it once.
When I take the mound in Yankee Stadium I feel like my stuff is going to be better than ever.
New England clam chowder, made as it should be, is a dish to preach about, to chant praises and sing hymns and burn incense before. [. . . ] It is as American as the Stars and Stripes, as patriotic as the national Anthem. It is Yankee Doodle in a kettle.
The Yankee: In acuteness and perseverance, he resembles the Scotch. In frugal neatness, he resembles the Dutch. But in truth, a Yankee is nothing else on earth but himself.
Putting the Yankee uniform on every day.
Call listened with amusement--not that the incident hadn't been terrible. Being decapitated was a grisly fate, whether you were a Yankee or not. But then, amusing things happened in battle, as they did in the rest of life. Some of the funniest things he had ever witnessed had occurred during battles. He had always found it more satisfying to laugh on a battlefield than anywhere else, for if you lived to laugh on a battlefield, you could feel you had earned the laugh. But if you just laughed in a saloon, or at a social, the laugh didn't reach deep.
They started something here, and the kids are keeping the ball rolling.
I want to own a team one day. You know, that's my next goal.
After they remodeled Yankee Stadium I didn't feel that the ghosts were there anymore. It just wasn't the same.
Born? Hell, Babe Ruth wasn't born. He fell from a tree.
I know only two tunes: one of them is 'Yankee Doodle,' and the other isn't.
It was the first time I used that bat. A Yankee fan in Chicago gave it to me the last time we were there and said it would bring me luck. There's no brand name on it or anything. Maybe the guy made it himself. It had been in the bat rack, and I picked it up by mistake because it looked like the bat I had been using the last few days.
A lot of long relievers are ashamed to tell their parents what they do. The only nice thing about it is that you get to wear a uniform like everbody else.
the virtue of Yankee upbringing spiritually speaking is of more downright value to me than any past heritages.
I can't be the Mayor of L. A. I hate the Dodgers. I'm a Yankee fan. Yankee fans can't ever root for the Dodgers.
I've been able to do a lot of things in the movies. I've been able to run with the buffalo, you know. I've been able to pitch a perfect game in Yankee Stadium. I've been in the bathtub with Susan Sarandon. I've had a lot of chances to do a lot of things. I enjoy sports, but I enjoy sports so much to the point that I wouldn't do the movie unless I thought it had a chance to be good.
I went to the doctor, and they found something in my bladder. And whenever they find something, it's never anything good like, "We found something in your bladder AND IT'S SEASON TICKETS TO THE YANKEES!!"
Anybody who can't hear the difference between a ball hitting wood and a ball hitting concrete must be blind.
Let's say Twitter existed during the Civil War. We would have a better understanding of people in the Confederacy who were against slavery, people in the North who actually felt we should just let the South be the South. Because the way it is now, it seems like we have this portrait where everybody in Georgia hated Yankees and everybody in the North was enlightened. That wouldn't seem as clear cut as it does now.
I wish I could paint that picture. As a 20-year-old kid, that was a big thrill.
