Early Ending Too Late

Well, the baseball season is over. Don't get me wrong. I love baseball. It is the great American sport for me. But you know, when it ends after Halloween, TV revenue has taken over.

In any case, I thought I would do a quote post today from some of the great Quotables in the land of baseball.

Casey Stengel

"There comes a time in every man's life and I've had many of them."

"Good pitching will always stop good hitting and vice-versa."

"Can't anybody here play this game?"

"Don't cut my throat, I may want to do that later myself."

"Son, we'd like to keep you around this season but we're going to try and win a pennant."

Yogi Berra

"You've got to be very careful if you don't know where you are going because you might not get there."

"We made too many wrong mistakes."

"It gets late early out there."

"I always thought that record would stand until it was broken."

"I don't know (if they were men or women fans running naked across the field). They had bags over their heads."

"If people don't want to come out to the ballpark, how are you going to stop them?"

Bob Uecker

"I didn't get a lot of awards as a player. But they did have a Bob Uecker Day Off for me once in Philly."

"I signed with the Milwaukee Braves for three-thousand dollars. That bothered my dad at the time because he didn't have that kind of dough. But he eventually scraped it up."

"One time, I got pulled over at four a.m. I was fined seventy-five dollars for being intoxicated and four-hundred for being with the Phillies."Source: Widely Attributed

"People don't know this but I helped the Cardinals win the pennant. I came down with hepatitis. The trainer injected me with it."

Mike Schmidt

"Philadelphia is the only city, where you can experience the thrill of victory and the agony of reading about it the next day."

"Any time you think you have the game conquered, the game will turn around and punch you right in the nose."

Satchel Paige

"Age is a case of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it don't matter."

"Ain't no man can avoid being born average, but there ain't no man got to be common."

"I don't generally like running. I believe in training by rising gently up and down from the bench."

"Work like you don't need the money.
Love like you've never been hurt.
Dance like nobody's watching."
