Sam Crawford quotes:

Ty Cobb was still fighting the Civil War, and as far as he was concerned, we were all damn Yankees. But who knows, if he hadn't had that terrible persecution complex, he never would have been about the best ballplayer who ever lived.

I never was for telephones. Just don't like them, that's all. Anybody wants to talk to you, they can come to see you.

I do have a television over there - it was a gift - but I never turn it on. I'd rather read a book.
