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!
.

FUNNY SPORTS QUOTE \ Source: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Cooperstown

SOURCE: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Cooperstown
by Mickey McDermott with Howard Eisenberg

Mickey NcDermott, in his semi-autobiography written with
Howard Eisenberg, cites hilarious episodes in his career
involving two Hall of Fame legends, Yogi Berra and Satchel Paige.

Regarding Yogi, Mickey cites the following 2 episodes:

(1) "I wound up, aimed at the eyes, and fired. If he (Yogi)
didn't duck, he would get creamed. But he didn't duck.
Neither did he square to bunt. He just hit a mile to dead
center for a home run. I was furious. I retired the next
two batters and then I trotted in, ranting and raving.
In Fenway, the dugouts were adjacent. I spotted Yogi
on the Yankee bench and detoured.
'What the hell were you doing?' I yelled. 'That was a
bunt situation.'
Still he apologized, 'Gee Mick, I missed the bunt sign.'"

(2) Rooming with Yogi was more fun....
His wife had finally gotten around to the point of this
phone call. Yogi's voice changed. "Whaddya mean
you're pregnant again?" he bellowed. "You can't be.
I bought you a diagram."
Laughter was not the appropriate response at a time
like that, but I cou;dn't help myself.

And, finally, the 2 with Satch:

(1) Satch moved like iced molasses when summoned from
the bullpen (in the minors with Miami), so I asked him
how come it took him so long to get to the mound and
he said, "Bo, it's somepin' I learned a long time ago.
You never rushes into trouble."

(2) ...he was on the short list (for baseball integration), but
Rickey nixed him. "He drinks. He screws anything with
legs and he won't listen. I'm going with Jackie Robinson."

Top 10 Dirtiest Names in Sports

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

 

3. Johnny Dickshot

Born John Oscar Dickshot in Waukegan, Illinois, Dickshot played outfield for 3 teams from 1936 to 1945. Johnny's lastname is one of the more dynamic on the list as "shot" is somewhat sport-related and "dick" is somewhat funny. Johnny also had a nickname, "Ugly", which is strange because the concept of a dickshot is so lovely. Dickshot died in Waukegan in 1997.










 



2. Dick Trickle This is about as good as it gets. Dick Trickle, known as "America's Winningest Driver," began racing on the short-track circuit in 1958. The vile nature of his name made Trickle a common joke on Sportscenter in the 1990s. The idea of a trickle--a slow, irregular flow of a liquid--following "Dick" in a man's name--conjures up themes of bathroom activities and venereal disease.



 



1. Chubby Cox

And the #1 Dirtiest Name in Sports is Chubby Cox. Born John Arthur Cox III, Chubby was a standout at the University of San Francisco in the '70s and was drafted by the Bulls in 1978. Cox only played in 7 NBA games, for the Washington Bullets in 1983. Chubby couldn't cut it on the professional level and spent his post-playing years teaching and coaching youths in the San Francisco area. But what matters most about him is that his name is Chubby Cox.
