SPECIAL EDITORIAL NOTE FROM SPORTS_NUT, 2/26/2011
.
Welcome to the retirement edition of Funny Sports Quotes.
.
The Funny Sports Quotes blog was created in 11/2007 after I could see I could become a blogger very easily using Google's 3-step process for creating a blog online.
.
For me, like most, work is not my idea of a fun experience, so I had to choose the topic that I would most enjoy pursuing and that, for me, was finding and posting funny sports quotes for entertaining and, in some cases, educating an audience on facets of sports even the most ardent sports fans may not have been aware of.
.
At the same time, I decided to compile a database of funny sports quotes that sports fans and quote fans could visit for "one-stop" shopping, thereby helping them to avoid the need to search elsewhere for sports quotes.
.
So, from 11/2007 until 2/2011. I have compiled quotes on the Funny Sports Quotes blog and its sister blog, FSQuotes, that is accessible only from the Funny Sports Quotes blog.
.
As of 2/26/2011, I believe I have achieved my objective first set in 11/2007, which signals for me the end of my funny sports quotes database project.
.
Kindly note that I have already made the last post (SI Swimsuit) to the blog, shut off further entries to Comments, and I will shut off the email address sports.quotes@gmail.com on 03/14/2011.
.
Also note that many features previously cited on this page have been removed, so that a bare-bones FSQ remains for your future reference.
.
I do hope that my venture was successful in bringing a smile to your face or a skip to your step, since that was all FSQ was created for, your entertainment and pleasure.
.
In closing, I wish you and yours, Godspeed!

BASEBALL QUOTES
.
* "Look, we play The National Anthem before every game. You want us to pay taxes too?" -- baseball team owner Bill Veeck
.
* When asked for a comment by a San Francisco reporter about the then-recent assassination of longtime Dominican dictator Rafael Trujillo, one of the Alou brothers on the Giants reportedly said, (through a translator), "We didn't do it."
.
* "I've given Mike Cuellar more chances than my first wife." -- Earl Weaver
.
* "The only thing Earl knows about pitching is that he couldn't hit any."-- Jim Palmer
.
* This was in the "They Said It" part of Sports Illustrated in the late 1980s (which I can't find precisely where now so I'm going from memory), said by an Atlanta Braves coach who went out to talk to the pitcher during a game in Cincinnati after the pitcher had given up three straight home runs, resulting in three straight fireworks displays, "I don't have any advice for you. I just wanted to give them a chance to reload their cannon."
.
*"Well, a couple of grand slammers and the Brewers are right back in this one."—Uecker during the 8th inning of a game the Brewers were losing 8–0
