Don Sutton on Willie Stargell:

"I never saw anything like it. He doesn't just hit pitchers. He takes away their dignity."

Tom C

"Rickey don't like it when Rickey can't find Rickey's limo."

"Rickey got a big ranch. Rickey got a big bull. Rickey got horses. Rickey got chickens and everything. And Rickey got a 20 gallon hat."

In the minors in 1888, one of the opposing players was talking trash to Larry Corcoran while he was at the plate and he called the player a "field ornament", while also noting how bad he was defensively. I've used that line while talking about a player that has no defensive value

[Hot Springs Bathers]

I did a double-take on the Cairo Monopol back before fully realizing what was going on. Nice curveball, Ted. You just struck me out.

How about this one from Mantle regarding Pete Rose.

"If I had played my career hitting singles like Pete (Rose), I'd wear a dress."

Mickey Mantle

To many to list but a few of my favorites..

"When a pitcher's throwing a spitball, don't worry and don't complain, just hit the dry side like I do." Stan Musial

"I wished I'da known Paul was goin' to pitch a no-hitter," complained the irrepressible Dean afterward. "I'da pitched one too." Dizzy Dean after throwing a shut out in the first game of a double header only to have his brother Paul throw a no-hitter in the night cap.

"I ain't ever had a job, I just always played baseball." Satchel Paige

"Baseball has been good to me since I quit trying to play it." Whitey Herzog

"Hell, If I'd known 40–40 was going to be a big deal, I'd have done it every year!" Mickey Mantle

"I'll never make the mistake of being 70 again." Casey Stengel After being fired by the Yankees for being too old to manage.

[Runscott]

On the infamous side, I'll go with Jarrod Weaver's recent dumb retort to Kyle Seager. Perhaps the fact that he doesn't "...even know who the kid is" is why he is 7-11 with a 4.7 ERA. Maybe if he researched the batters he'll be facing he could get that ERA down a little. It's also funny to hear a 32 year old calling a 27 year old a "kid". They are both kids.

On the vintage side, I love to listen to anything Sam Crawford said about Ty Cobb in "Glory of Their Times".

Mike Flanagan:
"I never could play in New York. The first time I ever came into a game there, I got into the bullpen car and they told me to lock the doors."

When you're a winner you're always happy, but if you're happy as a loser you'll always be a loser. -Mark Fidrych

I only had a high school education and believe me, I had to cheat to get that. -Sparky Anderson

[HercDriver]

Mark Grace, on giving up a homerun to rookie David Moss in his relief pitching appearance on September 2, 2002...

"I didn't have a scouting report on him. Obviously he can hit 65 mph fastballs."

"We just have to capitalize on our mistakes this year" - Mickey Rivers
