Famous quotes by Joe DiMaggio

A ball player has to be kept hungry to become a big leaguer. That's why no boy from a rich family has ever made the big leagues.Joe DiMaggio

The phrase 'off with the crack of the bat', while romantic, is really meaningless, since the outfielder should be in motion long before he hears the sound of the ball meeting the bat.Joe DiMaggio

You always get a special kick on opening day, no matter how many you go through. You look forward to it like a birthday party when you're a kid. You think something wonderful is going to happen.Joe DiMaggio
