I'm just like everybody else. I have two arms, two legs and four-thousand hits.

I'm no different from anybody else with two arms, two legs, and forty-two hundred hits.

When you play this game twenty years, go to bat ten-thousand times, and get three-thousand hits, do you know what that means? You've gone zero for seven-thousand.

Four or five times a week, ... But I never bet against my own team, and I never made any bets from the clubhouse.

When I get the record, all it will make me is the player with the most hits. I'm also the player with the most at bats and the most outs. I never said I was a greater player than Cobb.

I actually went to some Gamblers Anonymous classes, and I sat there for three or four of them, and I'm trying to figure out what I have in similarities with these other people, and I could never find anything. It just seems like it wasn't the right place for me.
