"When I'm hitting, I'd play for nothing. When I'm not, any kind of money I receive
makes me feel as if I'm stealing." Mickey Mantle

Pete Rose -- I'd walk through hell in a gasoline suit to play baseball.
Reggie Jackson on Tom Seaver -- He's so good, blind people come to the park to hear him pitch. Anonymous batter protesting after striking out looking on three pitches against Walter Johnson -- the third one sounded low. Writer about Lefty Grove -- he was so fast he could throw a lambchop past a wolf. Pitcher I don't remember about Hank Aaron -- trying to get a fastball by him is like trying to sneak the sunrise past a rooster. Babe Ruth on justifying his higher salary than Herbert Hoover -- I had a better year than he did. Willie Stargell on hitting against Sandy Koufax -- it was like trying to drink coffee with a fork. Sal Maglie on why he threw two consecutive pitches at a batter's head -- to show him the first one wasn't a mistake.

My favorite is probably John Updike explaining why Ted Williams did not come out of the dugout to acknowledge the cheering after homering after his last pitch -- Gods do not answer letters.
