“When Mel came up in 1964 in the middle of the season, I was his pitching coach, but I was also pitching every fourth day besides. Yogi Berra was our manager. That's why it was all screwed up.”
Whitey Ford
“I think Mel and I did a good job not allowing her to catch the ball, and when she did catch it not allowing her to see the basket to shoot. Mel tries to get physical with the person and frustrate them by bodying up. I just try to make the right reads and chase the screens and then I body up when I should.”
Nicole Wolff
“Mel did a great job here all these years, but that's the way the Yankees are. Everybody knows when you come to the Yankees, that things can change from year to year. Everybody that's been here a while understands the things that may arise.”
Tino Martinez
“That's when Mel (Daniels) and I ran the workouts.”
Donnie Walsh
“Mel was really upset after that game [Saturday], feeling like she didn't leave it all out there. I knew she would do something about it. She was more aggressive. Right when she touched it, she was looking to shoot.”
Ann Strother
“They wanted me to play third like Brooks so I did play like Brooks - Mel Brooks.”
Andy Van Slyke
“If Michelle Pfeiffer gave Mel Gibson a vial of blood to wear around his neck in a movie you'd think it was terribly romantic, everyone would cry and they'd win awards. But in real life if someone does that they'd be considered weird.”
Billy Bob Thornton
