to me. He always called me 'my boy.' He would say 'That's my boy there,'

"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

grow up to be like, it would be Roger."

"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."
