Best MLB quotes?
Most everyone can recite some favorites from the Babe or Yogi or Casey. But how about some others?
Richie Ashburn hit .350 in 1958 to win the batting title over Willie Mays. The Phillies sent him a contract with a $2,500 cut in salary for 1959.The Philies GM John Quinn hemmed and hawed and finally came up with an absurd reason: Ashburn didn't hit the ball 'far enough'. "Well, if I hit them any farther they'd be outs." -Richie Ashburn

Another Uke
I remember him on Johnny Carson and Carson asked what it was like when Niekro was pitching.
"I always thought it was a 'Catch-22'." "How's that?" asked Johnny "It's what I would do to every 100 pitches."
