Honus Wagner quotes:

I don't make speeches. I just let my bat speak for me in the summertime.

I won't play for a penny less than fifteen hundred dollars

I am honored to have John Lloyd called the Black Wagner. It is a privilege to have been compared with him.

I don't want my picture in any cigarettes, but I also don't want you to lose the ten dollars, so I'm enclosing my check for that sum.

In all my years of play, I never saw an ump deliberately make an unfair decision. They really called them as they saw 'em.

There ain't much to being a ballplayer, if you're a ballplayer.

I never have been sick. I don't even know what it means to be sick. I hear other players say they have a cold. I just don't know what it would feel like to have a cold - I never had one.
