• First Reporter : I'll bet you a new suit of clothes you'll be in Florida for spring practice.

  Second Reporter : Aw, just wait till the old season starts. You'll miss the crowds and the cheering and the excitement.

  Lou Gehrig : That's just what I want to get away from. I've had all of that. I'm going to wallow in peace and quiet for the rest of my life. I'm going to hang up my spikes for a swell old pair of carpet slippers.
