Johnny Keane, asked why he stayed with Bob Gibson in Game 7 of the World Series when he was getting shelled and on the verge of blowing a big lead: I had a commitment to his heart.
Yogi on playing left field in Yankee Stadium: It gets late early out there. Yogi summing up his life: I never said half the things I said. Mickey Mantle, asked by a Senate committee on his views of baseball's antirust exemption after Casey Stengel had made a typical meandering, long speech: My views are pretty much the same as Casey's. Yogi, after Sandy Koufax, who had gone 25-5 during the season, blew away the Yankees in game 1 of the 1963 World Series: How did he lose 5? Pete Rose, asked why on earth he was back out taking batting practice at night after going 6 for 8 in a doubleheader: They got me out twice. Warren Spahn, interviewed after he gave up a titanic homerun to Willie Mays early in Willie's career: Gentlemen, for the first 60 feet it was a hell of a pitch.

Several years ago, after a golf tournament, Tommy Lasorda was the guest speaker at our club. He started by saying.. "Well I guess you read lately about Steve Yeager crying his eyes out to the sportswriters that Mike Scioscia gets to play ahead of him because he's(Scioscia) Italian. I want you all to know that is not true. I play Scioscia ahead of Yeager because I'M ITALIAN!!"

Ball Four
I just finished reading Ball Four again...love that book. My favorite quote is from Sibby Sisti after the kids beat the dads in a Father-Son game, 40-0, on an off day. "Forty runs, for crissakes, and nobody gets knocked down."
