I made a game effort to argue but two things were against me: the umpires and the rules.

In the olden days, the umpire didn't have to take any courses in mind reading. The pitcher told you he was going to throw at you.

Baseball is like church. Many attend few understand.

I never questioned the integrity of an umpire. Their eyesight, yes.

To some it's a six-pack, to me it's a "support group". Salvation in a can!

Buy a steak for a player on another club after the game, but don't even speak to him on the field. Get out there and beat them to death.

Win any way as long as you can get away with it. Nice guys finish last.

Give me some scratching, diving, hungry ballplayers who come to kill you.

I believe in rules. Sure I do. If there weren't any rules, how could you break them?

I never did say that you can't be a nice guy and win. I said that if I was playing third base and my mother rounded third with the winning run, I'd trip her up.

You don't save a pitcher for tomorrow. Tomorrow it may rain.

If I knew what to doI'd do more than write a song for you

I don’t want Dane to die, but if I had to pick, I want you...with me forever!” - Christian Stone

I wasn't always who I am now. No one ever is. I've spent my entire lifetime becoming who I am. Finally, I'm here and I'm old. It's depressing, it really is.

All water is holy water.

Now where people are - at least the people I talk to - they are focused on issues of trust. Accountability also comes up, to make sure that this doesn't happen again.

The intellectuals and the young, booted and spurred, feel themselves born to ride us.

I wanted to be a quarterback. I used to like Johnny Unitas, the old quarterback for the Colts.

Time, so complain'd of, Who to no one man Shows partiality, Brings round to all men Some undimm'd hours.

There's no misery in not being loved, only in not loving.

Beauty has nothing to do with the size you wear. It has to do with what's in your heart.
