Did Joe Dimaggio really say the following quote? The following quote was supposedly taken after the Yankees played the St. Louis Browns, the reporter asked him why he played so hard against a weak team. "Because there might be somebody in the stands today who'd never seen me play before, and might never see me again." Did Dimaggio really say that? Or is that just an edited version of... "There is always some kid who may be seeing me for the first or last time, I owe him my best." Please help!!!
What are some good quotes from Yankees players? Quotes can be from previous Yankee players or currently playing. If possible I'd like some from Babe Ruth, Joe Dimaggio, Roger Maris, or Andy Pettitte but any good quotes are fine. Please make them good quotes that make sense, Thank You!
Satchel Paige: Best Ever? Satchel only played for 6 years in the majors (’48-’53), put up some decent numbers. He later pitched 3 innings in a game in 1965 (one hit, no runs) to become the oldest pitcher in major league history. But what really caught my eye was what his peers said about him. Check out these quotes: "The best and fastest pitcher I've ever faced." - Joe DiMaggio "He's a better pitcher then I ever hope to be." - Dizzy Dean "Like Joe Louis, only one arm like this comes along in fifty years." - Red Smith "Paige was the best pitcher I ever saw." - Bob Feller “Satch was the greatest pitcher in baseball." – Ted Williams "Satchel Paige was the toughest pitcher I ever faced. I couldn't do much with him. All the years I played there (N*egro Leagues), I never got a hit off of him. He threw fire." - Buck Leonard "The best righthander baseball has ever known." - Bill Veeck http://www.baseball-almanac.com/quotes/quopaig.shtml These are some of the greatest players and figures in baseball history saying these things. Best ever. Are they correct? Of course, you guys are correct in saying that we will never know. I was just intrigued by some of these quotes. I really don't know what to think.
Yankee fans, what do you think about this article? 'Where's he gonna go, Cincinnati?' By David Brown The New York Yankees created this monster called Derek Jeter(notes). Though he is one of the top shortstops of the era, he always has exuded intangible qualities the Yankees love to heap on their best players. Well, they did double and triple heaps with Jeter. Yahoo! Sports' own Jeff Passan just wrote about this, his "Jeterness," and how the Yankees will pony up for their thoroughbred in his first experience as a free agent. Only now, the Yankees are complaining because Jeter didn't take their first offer. ESPN New York's Wallace Matthews has a source "with ties to both the team and the player" who says at least one person in the Yankees' front office wants to play hardball with the Captain after he turned down $63 million over three years: "Tell him the deal is three years at $15 million a year, take it or leave it," the person taking the hard-line approach said. "Wait him out and he'll wind up taking it. Where's he gonna go, Cincinnati?" Hilarious! Sounds like Hank Steinbrenner (whom the Yankees don't really let talk on the record anymore), though the next person quoted in Matthews' story was team president Randy Levine. He was little more equivocal. "Derek Jeter is a great Yankee and he's a great player," [Levine] said. "With that said and done, now is a different negotiation than 10 years ago." Oh, I see. The Yankees cultivate Jeter's image — hand him a generous $189 million contract 10 years ago; name him captain in 2003; let him keep his position and make Alex Rodriguez(notes) switch to third base in '04 despite being the superior defensive shortstop; then tear up A-Rod's contract to give him more money — and they get all chilly when Jeter comes back to the pay window? When did Derek Jeter turn into Hideki Matsui(notes)? Jeter made $22.6 million in 2010 and apparently wants at least a four-year deal near that rate. That would take him to 40 years old, with declining range and nowhere to go on the infield. But what's A-Rod gonna do? Go back to short? Whatever, it's not my money or roster. But the Yankees make me laugh; They created the Jeter legend, putting him in a class with Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio, et al. Yeah, Hank Steinbrenner the anonymous source is right in a sense; Would a team like the Reds be able, or even interested, in paying Jeter $21 million? Probably not (although, as our illustration points out, he would get to wear No. 2 in Cincy). This might mean a leverage problem for the average superstar on the free-agent market. But we're not talking about your average superstar. This is the legendary Derek Jeter, Yankees captain. What, you think he won a Gold Glove for his defense? Reputations cost money. And the Yankees will pay.
