Very funny. Some of my personal other faves, not necessarily funny, just apt: Guy strikes out against Walter Johnson, complains to the umpire, "The third one sounded low." Reggie Jackson on Tom Seaver: "He's so good blind people come to the park to hear him pitch." Somebody about pitching to Aaron: "Getting a fastball by him is like trying to sneak the sunrise past a rooster." Somebody asked about how he pitched to Mantle: "With tears in my eyes." Stengel: "Good pitching always beats good hitting, and vice versa." Someone about how fast Cool Papa Bell was: "He could get out of bed to turn the light off and be back before it went out." Norm Cash, facing Ryan in the 9th inning of a no hitter, comes to the plate with a broomstick: "What good is a bat going to do me?" Warren Spahn after Mays hits his first ever homer off him, apparently a prodigous shot: "Gentlemen, for the first sixty feet it was a hell of a pitch."
