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.”

Pretty sure it was Coach John McCay during a post game interview during the Tampa Bay Bucs 26 game losing streak.
REPORTER-"coach can you comment on the offensive side of the ball`s execution"? McCay- "I`m in favor of it" . classic !!!
