I don't know. They had bags over their heads.
-Yogi Berra when asked if the fans that ran naked on the field were men or women

That's the true harbinger of spring, not crocuses or swallows returning to
Capistrano, but the sound of a bat on the ball.
-Bill Veeck, 1976

(Nolan) Ryan's the only guy to put fear in me. You just hoped to mix in a walk
so you could have a good night and go 0-for-3.
- Reggie Jackson

This guy don't come to the ballpark to beat you. He comes to beat you bad. This
Robinson, he plays a ton.
-Leo Durocher, Dodger Manager 1947, on Jackie Robinson

It's a good thing I stayed in Cincinnati for four years -- It took me that long
to learn how to spell it.
-Rocky Bridges

If I stay healthy, I have a chance to collect three thousand hits and one
thousand errors.
-George Brett

The towels were so thick there I could hardly close my suitcase.
-Yogi Berra

Pro sports are a tough business--whether you're in baseball, football, or
something else. But when you're running around the bases after hitting a home
run or jumping up and down after a touchdown, a little boy comes to the surface.
-Roy Campanella

Why do people sing "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" when they are already there?
- Unknown

�I'm beginning to see Brooks [Robinson] in my sleep. If I dropped a paper plate,
he'd pick it up on one hop and throw me out at first.�
-Sparky Anderson

�The wind always seems to blow against catchers when they are running.�

Trying to sneak a fastball past Hank Aaron is like trying to sneak the sunrise
past a rooster.
- Joe Adcock

He's got power enough to hit home runs in any park, including Yellowstone.
- Sparky Anderson, on Willie Stargell

There have been only two geniuses in the world: Willie Mays and Willie
Shakespeare.
-Tallulah Bankhead, Actress (1903-1968

I love the quote about Ryan. he is my all-time favorite player. I saw him pitch in person twice and could not believe how hard he threw in his 40s. once was him vs clemens in 93 and as hard as clemens throws Ryan blew him away. I love the photo of Ryan bleding after being hit in the mouth by a line drive. Unfortunatly I will only get to go to one game this year,a braves game in june.
