Loudmouth fan: "Control is more important than speed. I know truck drivers that can throw 95 miles per hour. "

Casey Stengel: "You got the names of those truck drivers?"

Sportcaster interviewing Choo Choo Coleman:

Sportscaster: So, Choo Choo, tell us about your wife. What's her name and what's she like?

Choo Choo: Her name is Mrs. Coleman, and she likes me . . .

If we include other sports, my favorite quote is Latrell Sprewell talking about his contract extension. He was making over $14 million that season.

"Why would I want to help them win a title? They're not doing anything for me. I've got a lot at risk here. I've got my family to feed."

"Never bet on the A's" -- Connie Mack

"Bases on balls, you idiot, bases on balls is the cause of all of this" -- George Stallings supposed last words dying of an unknown illness.

Interview after game 4 of 1972 WS. Angel Mangual interviewed for game winning hit, with Bert Campaneris translating:

Interviewer: "Angel, congratulations on your winning hit."
Campaneris ** Spanish translation **
Mangual (in English): "Thank you."
Interviewer: "You certainly battled up there, about how many balls did you foul off ?"
Campaneris ** Spanish translation **
Mangual (in English): "Oh, three or four."
Campaneris: "He say 'three or four.'"

I always loved this one of many by Satchel Paige:


"Avoid fried foods, They angry up the blood".

Wouldn't be a thread without these two from The Georgia Peach

"Baseball is a red-blooded sport for red-blooded man. It's no pink tea, and mollycoddles had better stay out. It's a struggle for supremacy, survival of the fittest."

"I had to fight all my life to survive. They were all against me... but I beat them and left them in the ditch."

Another favorite:

Rogers Hornsby was so respected as a hitter that once, when a rookie pitcher complained to umpire Bill Klem that he thought he had thrown Rogers a strike, Klem replied, "Son, when you pitch a strike, Mr. Hornsby will let you know."

Jered Weaver after signing a 5 year $85M contract, when many thought he could have gotten maybe $60M more somewhere else:

“How much more do you need? Could have got more, whatever. Who cares? If $85 million is not enough to take care of my family and generations to come, then I’m pretty stupid.”
