BASEBALL QUOTE
Quote from a sports forum
.
I read a good Drysdale story awhile back. He was pitching against the Phillies' Robin Roberts, and after Drysdale hit a batter, the Phils' Manager ordered Roberts to knock Drysdale down the next time he came to bat. Roberts demurred, so the Manager sent in Turk Farrell, whom he knew would have no reservations about doing it.
.
Farrell knocked Drysdale down, as instructed, but on a subsequent pitch, Drysdale managed to get his bat on the ball and made it safely to second. Not content with that, Drysdale taunted Farrell, saying, "There's your knock-down pitch!"
.
A moment later, Farrell spun and made a pickoff throw to second, with no fielder there covering the bag, and the ball just happened to hit Drysdale in the thigh...to which Farrell added, "There's your two base hit!"
