Daily quote by Roberto Clemente

• I love the game too much to quit. But right now I can't run or swing a bat too well. I had my tonsils out two weeks ago in Pittsburgh and that helped, but I still have the pain. I am studying to be a civil engineer in Puerto Rico, so that's what I'll do if I have to give up baseball.
  • As quoted and paraphrased in "Not to Quit, Clemente Says" by the Associated Press, in The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (Friday, July 26, 1957), p. 14
