“As I said before, that’s the best advice I’ve ever had since I’ve been playing baseball. I don’t believe in being a tightwad or a miser or anything like that. But baseball is a profession, and it’s up to me and all the rest of us to make the most of our profession while we can.”

“I’ve been pretty much of a sap in my day,” he said. “I’ve played around a lot, and I’ve wasted a lot of money that I ought to have saved. But I’ve learned something. I’m getting wise to myself at last. Let me give you a tip, Lou. The best advice that I can give you or anyone else can give you is just this: ‘Save your money.’ ”

“Don’t mind the cheers,” he said. “They don’t mean anything. In this business we’re in, you hear cheers one day and jeers the next. You’re a good fellow as long as you’re playing a great game, but the minute you slip, they forget all about your good plays. But there’s one thing they can’t take away from you. That’s the money you save, and if you’re as smart as I think you are, you’ll start in salting it away right now. Get your pile while it comes easy. Someday the going will be tough, and then you’ll be sorry if you haven’t saved what you should. Just take a tip from me. I know.”
