A catcher must want to catch. He must make up his mind that it isn't the terrible job it is painted, and that he isn't going to say every day, 'Why, oh why with so many other positions in baseball did I take up this one.'
I loved to make a great defensive play, I'd rather do that than hit a home run.
He (Babe Ruth) hits a ball harder and further than any man I ever saw.
If I were catching blindfolded, I'd always know when it was Foxx who connected. He hit the ball harder than anyone else.
He (Lou Gehrig) just went out and did his job every day.
I like to have my hand on every single plate that goes out. It's really a good feeling when someone compliments your meal, and you had everything to do with making it. It's very rewarding.
