Billy (Martin) wasn't afraid of anything.

It's unbelievable how much you don't know about the game you've been playing all your life.

I leaned on him for support when I got out of the cab, and he just crumpled to the ground. That's how we found out.

The deadening part of Bible study is when you think you've already got it all figured out.
