Longtime Detroit Tigers first baseman Hank Greenberg on fellow Hall of Famer and New York Yankees center fielder Joe DiMaggio:

“Name a better right-handed hitter, or a better thrower, or a better fielder, or a better base runner. That’s right, a better base runner. Did you ever see him slide when he hooked the bag with his toe? Absolutely perfect.”
