Track and field, because it was something I could do by myself, one-on-one, me against everybody else..

I never was content unless I was trying my skill...or testing my endurance..

I give 'em the hip, then I take it away..

I am no more proud of my career as an athlete than I am of the fact that I am a direct descendant of that noble warrior [Chief Black Hawk]..

I have always liked sport and only played or run races for the fun of the thing..

The Yankees, you see, they're a money team, they're the class of baseball. You don't ever bet against that..
