With me, baseball will never grow old. In my own estimation, it may not have improved so much as many believe, but regardless of everything, it is the same good old game. If I have contributed to its success, I do not refer to this in the sense of boasting. I had to or fall out of the ranks.

In the good old days when I was a senator, I was my own man.

I've never felt that I've had some great fashion sense of my own - I tend to wear what my wife tells me to wear.

To me, baseball is as honorable as any other business. It is the most honest pastime in the world. It has to be, or it could not last a season out. Crookedness and baseball do not mix. It has become immeasurably more popular as the years have gone by. It will be greater yet. This year, 1919, is the greatest season of them all.

I want to make this perfectly clear: you can be sure that I will never be a yes-man except to my own conscience.

I never spent much time with people my own age.
