Post your favorite comments by a MLB ballplayer

I'll start this show and tell by posting two of my favorites......

This one I heard after watching (on TV) this tremendous game on Oct 8th 1956.

Don Larsen's modest response to the sports media's numerous questions after his Perfect No-Hitter......

" The Dodgers made it easy for me....I threw only 97 pitches. "

and,

Scenario......1958 World Series: Milwaukee 3 vs Yankees 1

The following day a pushy sports reporter asks Casey Stengel:
" If he thought the Yankees were choked up ? "

Casey responded:
" If there is any choking, it will be you on this microphone. "

This obnoxious reporter was Howard Cosell.

The Yankees won the next 3 games to win the Series. Bob Turley achieved an unprecedented "trifecta" by shutting out the Braves in Game 5.
Beating them in relief in Game 6. And, winning Game 7.
