Joe DiMaggio

"I don't know why he hasn't been elected for the Hall of Fame. To me, he's as good as there ever was. I have four boys of my own, and if I could pick somebody for those boys to grow up to be like, it would be Roger."

Billy Martin

Whitey Ford

Yogi Berra

"Billy was always a great one for jokes. He loved to pull a joke on somebody. He'd get a bigger kick out of that than anybody that I've ever played with. And Billy wasn't afraid of anything."

"If I could choose anybody I wanted to play for my team, the first player I'd choose would be Whitey. There's no one I'd rather have on my team than Whitey Ford. When the game was on the line he's the guy I'd want pitching."

"Yogi was as good a catcher as I ever saw. I'll tell you, he could come from behind the plate on a bunt and almost always throw the guy out. He had a better arm than everybody thought he did. And he could really block the plate. He could hit the ball down the right field line better than anybody I ever saw in my life, and he could hit almost anything thrown to him."
