• I used to hate old-timers who didn't praise the younger wrestlers, but you've got to pass the torch sometime. If you're old, that torch gets too heavy for you and you can't carry it, so it won't do you any good.

• When a theater goes dark for the night, a stagehand leaves a lighted lamp on stage. No one knows why any more, but some old timers say it is to keep the ghosts away. Others say it lights the stage for the ghosts to play. Whichever theory one adheres to, most people agree: a great theater is haunted.

• You have to enjoy playing. The old-timers did, and that's one reason why their music is a lasting music. I feel that I play jazz to entertain the listener, and you just can't do that unless you yourself are entertained at the same time.

• I guess I've always lived upside down when I want things I can't have. My wife actually thinks I have a syndrome called Reality Distortion Field. It's kind of like drugs, only you can't come back from it. Reality Distortion is almost a permanent condition. Things come in and they go out: Presto, chango! To a certain extent, I did that with myself. As a kid, I did want to be an old-timer, since they were the ones with the big stories and the cool clothes. I wanted to go there. Now, I guess I want to bring that with me and go back in time.

• No más cortar gramos, y envolver a los nietos con bandas elásticas,
  Soy un hombre recuperado, nuestros planes ta descubrir otras tierras,
  lugares suburbanos me tienen buscando un oasis, cristal por las cajas, damas de todas las razas con caras de moneda de diez centavos, sexo en las playas de arena blanca de Saint Thomas, aunque esto no es prometido,
  Estoy tan decidido como los veteranos.

• Cuando solía ir al Club de Ajedrez de Manhattan en los años cincuenta, conocí a muchos veteranos que conocían a Capablanca, porque solía venir al club de Manhattan en los años cuarenta, antes de morir a principios de los cuarenta. Hablaban de Capablanca con admiración. Nunca he visto a nadie hablar así de ningún ajedrecista, ni antes ni después.

• The 16 years have gone so fast. I came to Minnesota as a 19-year-old kid. Marv Grissom was the pitching coach, an old-timer who taught me quite a bit. Marv didn't like the way I stepped toward the plate. I had a tendency to throw across my body. So, he took me off to the side at Met Stadium and put a chair on the mound. If I threw across my body, I would step on the chair. Marv was trying to hurt me. I fooled him. I started stepping the right way.

• Most young dealers of the Silicon Chip Era regard a reference library as merely a waste of space. Old Timers on the West Coast seem to retain a fondness for reference books that goes beyond the practical. Everything there is to know about a given volume may be only a click away, but there are still a few of us who'd rather have the book than the click. A bookman's love of books is a love of books, not merely of the information in them.

• ¿Crees que es fácil acercarse a Joe DiMaggio y entablar una conversación?
  conversación? He estado cerca de él en partidos de veteranos, y créeme, es
  alguien especial. No es fácil acercarse y decir: "¿Cómo estás, Joe?
  Realmente te sientes como si fuera el único veterano al que tienes que llamar
  Señor.
