Started 2,130 straight games and still somehow got talked over by a guy who treated conditioning like a rumor. by Lou Gehrig

Both of you are loud. I quietly had a 56-game streak and let the numbers do the flexing.

You call it conditioning, I call it enjoying life and still hitting dingers.

Smile? I once made an entire stadium gasp by arriving before the game ended.

Respectfully, the Yankees were at their best when I played first and Babe played victim.

That’s okay, Babe, you were the only man who could be out of shape and still somehow win a headline.

Lou was built like a tank, Babe was built like a buffet, and somehow I’m the one expected to smile.

Joe, you said one sentence and it sounded like a press release from a library.
