I agree, anything Bob Uecker says makes me fall on the floor.
Nobody brought up the Krukker? "I'm not an athlete, Ma'am, I'm a baseball player." Ken |

"No Mascots on the field. Shoot anything that looked like it escaped from Sesame Street." John Kruk on whether he was in shape after being on the DL: "To run a marathon? Hell,no. To play baseball? F**k yeah." And don't forget Rickey: “If they want to pay me like Mike Gallego, I’ll play like Gallego.” - Ricky Henderson

"During my 18 years I came to bat almost 10,000 times. I struck out about 1,700 times and walked maybe 1,800 times. You figure a ballplayer will average about 500 at bats a season. That means I played seven years without ever hitting the ball." Mickey Mantle, 1970

I like the Hornsby quote after being asked what he does in the winter.
"People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring." Now a quote about Hornsby: "He was frank to the point of being cruel and as subtle as a belch." - Sportswriter Lee Allen |

One of my favorite baseball moments was Rickey passing Brock (and acting like a jerk) in an afternoon game, then being upstaged that night by Nolan Ryan's 7th no-hitter. Every sports report that I saw led with Ryan and made Rickey a footnote.

It is a bummer that the classic Olurud moment supposedly never really happened though. BTW- he and the A's got no hit by Ryan the year prior.. AND Rickey was Ryan's 5000th K. |

I'm really sorry to hear that the Olerud incident in Seattle never happened. It's one of my favorite baseball stories.
