How will you feel when Yankee Stadium Closes?

Bill,
What can you say? It's been a great place with a lot of great memories. The memories are what I'll remember most.

Who would you consider the toughest pitcher you faced in your playing days?

Well, Herb Score of the Indians was pretty tough before he got injured. Another guy who wasn't easy was Alex Kellner, a lefthander with the A's. His teams weren't so good, but he was pretty good.    - Yogi

What do you think of the Tampa Bay Rays? Also, can you share one of your most memorable experiences in Yankee Stadium?

Deno,
The Rays are young and good, and have good, young pitching. You have to like their future, and they're good now, too. On Yankee Stadium, I had a lot of great memorable experiences. Catching Don Larsen's perfect game in the World Series, that was a thrill. A no-hitter in the World Series, and a perfect game at that. Like I say, it's never happened before and never happened since.

Do you that they should trade Alex Rodriguez?

Zach,
I'm not the general manager so I don't know. But if you do trade him, you'd better get a lot back.

Can you tell me how valuable Tommy Henrich was to your team and how good he really was?

Tom,
I was a teammate of Tommy only four years, the end of his career. He was great, though. People say he was underrated but he wasn't underrated to us. Did anything to help us win. Great hitter when it mattered most. And a great rightfielder. In 1949 he moved to first base and was great there, too. Heck, Tommy was a tremendous ballplayer.

I grew up in Missouri and my Grandpa idolized you. I wonder if you believe in philosophical, scientific or religious stuff?

Melissa,
I go to church regularly and believe in things I believe in. When it comes to baseball and life, I always believe it's not over until til it's over.

What was it like growing up on The Hill? How often do you get back to the old neighborhood?

Ryan,
What can I say? The Hill was and still is a great place. We had an awful lot of fun growing up there. Joe Garagiola was my best friend and lived right across the street. Everybody looked out for each other, it was real close-knit. St. Ambrose Church was and still is the big thing there, and where I also got married. There's still a lot of pride in the neighborhood and I try to get back there at least once or twice a year.

I am 6 years old and visited your museum today with my dad. How many World Series did you play in? I saw a lot of rings.

Benjamin,Thank you for visiting. I was fortunate to play in 14 World Series. That's because I had great teammates, and we had some pretty good teams.- Yogi

What was it like to play in the major leagues and doing what you did for a living?

1. Trevelyan,

It was great. Like I always say, where else could you "work" for three hours and make that kind of money, although we didn't make much in those days. Playing ball was a dream and all I wanted to do. - Yogi  

I noticed a lot of young players chew gum in their neighborhood pick up games and in the youth leagues. Isn't that a bad idea?

Adam,
I'm no expert on this, but I knew a lot of guys who chewed when they played. Maybe it kept them from a dry mouth. Maybe it helped them concentrate. If it helps, maybe it's not a bad idea.
