"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.

Bob Gibson to Tim McCarver after McCarver told him after a game that there was a colored guy waiting to see him: What color is he?

Bob Gibson to Tim McCarver upon his approach to the mound to talk to Gibson, "What are you doing out here? The only thing you know about pitching is you can't hit it!"
