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
Baseball quotes cited on a St. Louis Cardinal baseball forum
.
------------
.
When I was 10 or 11 I was reading one of the season previews in some publication and talking about one teams pitching had this to say about one starter:
.
Bob Walk, couldn't be more aptly named if he were called Bob Enormousearnedrunaverage.
.
-------------
.
Andujar when questioned why he wasn't stretching - "Babe Ruth never stretched".
.
------------
.
Ian Snell on facing Albert Pujols :
.
"When I face him, I try not to think about what I'm going to do. Because I know he knows what I'm thinking."
.
----------
.
On best way to pitch to Stan Musial:
.
"I would throw him my best pitch and back up third base."
Carl Erskine
.
"I would throw him 4 wide ones and try to pick him off first."
Don Drysdale
.
----------
.
"Jim Pagliaroni joined the club tonight and is going to be a welcome addition. He was describing a girl that one of the ballplayers had been out with and said, 'It's hard to say exactly what she looked like. She was kind of a Joe Torre with ---.'
.
This joke can only be explained with a picture of Joe Torre. But I'm not sure any exist - he dissolves camera lenses."
.
-- Jim Bouton, Ball Four
.
--------
.
"Why throw 4 pitches when you can throw 1?"
Randy Johnson on walking a guy
.
---------
.
"That guy always hits a grand slam with the bases loaded."
.
"If the batter didn't see it, how did the ump?" on a Bob Gibson called strike 3 fastball.
.
"That's a really high sky today, more so than normal."
.
(Last 3 quotes are from Yogi's brother, Razz (smile))
