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!

WARREN SPAHN, HALL OF FAME PITCHER
.
.
BASEBALL QUOTES

I said 'no guts' to a kid who went on to become a war hero and one of the greatest lefthanded pitchers you ever saw. You can't say I don't miss 'em when I miss 'em.
--- Casey Stengel, who farmed out Warren Spahn as a nervous rookie who declined to brush a hitter back with the 1942 Boston Braves . . . and managed him again, when Spahn turned up opening the 1965 season as a Met.
.
I played for Casey Stengel before and after he was a genius.
--- Warren Spahn, for his part. (Stengel, of course, managed twelve pennant winners and ten World Series champions with the Yankees, 1949-60.)
.
We try every way we can to kill this game but for some reason nothin' nobody does never hurts it.
--- Sparky Anderson.
.
Don't matter if you're ugly in this racket---all you got to do is hit the ball, and I never saw anyone hit one with his face.
--- Yogi Berra.
.
By the time you learn how to play this game properly, you can't play anymore.
--- Frank Howard.
.
Jesus H. Christ himself couldn't get me out!
--- Ted Williams.
.
On my tombstone it will read, "Cause of death: Boston Red Sox."

For most baseball fans, the saddest words of tongue or pen are, "Wait 'till next year."
For us Cub fans, the saddest words are, "This year is next year."
--- George F. Will.
.
There are twenty thousand people in the stadium and a million butterfilies.
--- Vin Scully, the longtime voice of the Los Angeles Dodgers, during the ninth inning of Sandy Koufax's perfect game.
.
Jesus is the Answer! What was the question? Who's Felipe and Matty's kid brother?
--- Graffiti in San Francisco, when the Alou brothers played for the Giants.
.
The fans love home runs, and we have assembled a pitching staff that will please them.
--- Clark Griffith, owner of the Washington Senators.Washington.
.
My idol was Bugs Bunny, because I saw a cartoon of him playing ball - you know, the one where he plays every position himself with nobody else on the field but him? Now that I think of it, Bugs is still my idol. You have to love a ballplayer like that.
--- Nomar Garciaparra.
.
I don't use foreign substances. Everything I use is made in the U.S. of A.
--- George Frazier, when accused of putting foreign substances on his pitches.
.
I'd love to be my wife for one day---so I can see how wonderful it is to be married to me.
--- Andy Van Slyke, center fielder and wit.
.
Hell, Killebrew was lucky. If I had to face our pitching staff, I'd have hit ten.
--- Dick Stuart, Boston Red Sox, after the 1963 season ended in a set between the Minnesota Twins and the Red Sox and all that was left for either team was to see whether Harmon Killebrew---who hit a few bombs during the series---or Stuart (who hit a couple fewer) would end up the American League's home run champion. (Killebrew won the race.)
.
Forget it. You guys are trying to figure out in fifteen minutes what nobody figured out in fifteen years.
--- Yogi Berra, happening in on a meeting of American League All-Star pitchers as they began discussing how to pitch Stan Musial.
.
No. Leave me alone. I want to spend ten minutes in the same place with this guy without him busting up a ball game on me.
--- Casey Stengel, touring Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum in England, visiting its baseball exhibit, and coming upon a wax likeness of Musial, when urged by a member of the Yankees' touring party to move along and not hold up the lines. (Stengel had managed the Boston Braves in the early 1940s . . . ).
.
Can you imagine finding Jesus Christ in Las Vegas?
--- Belinsky, who converted to Christianity while working for an automotive distributorship in Vegas, a few years before he died of a heart attack brought on by a battle with bladder cancer.
.
I only won 28 games in the big leagues and I bet I got more mileage out of that than Steve did with three hundred wins.

.
Tommy John versus Don Sutton. If anyone can find one smooth ball from that game, they ought to send it to Cooperstown.

.
In 1967 I set a major league record for passed balls, and I did that without playing every game. There was a game, as a matter of fact, during that year when [knuckelball specialists] Phil Niekro's brother and he were pitching against each other in Atlanta. Their parents were sitting right behind home plate. I saw their folks that day more than they did the whole weekend . . . .
.
[T]his conglomeration of greats that are here today, a lot of them were teammates, but they won't admit it. But they were. And a lot of them were players that worked in games that I called. They are wonderful friends, and always will be. And the 1964 World's Championship team. The great Lou Brock. And I remember as we got down near World Series time, Bing Devine, who was the Cardinals' general manager at that time, asked me if I would do him and the Cardinals, in general, a favor. And I said I would. And he said, "We'd like to inject you with hepatitis. We need to bring an infielder up" . . .
.
I had a great shoe contract and glove contract with a company who paid me a lot of money never to be seen using their stuff.
.
Bat orders? I would order a dozen bats and there were times they'd come back with handles at each end. You know, people have asked me a lot of times, because I didn't hit a lot, we all know that, how long a dozen bats would last me? Depending on the weight and the model that I was using at that particular time I would say eight to ten cookouts.
--- Bob Uecker, during his Hall of Fame induction speech. (He was inducted as a broadcaster.)
.
-----------
.
Bet you didn't know:
We tried everything. Fastballs, curveballs, inside, outside, nothing worked. Bob Uecker owned Sandy Koufax.
--- Jeff Torborg, a Koufax catcher, remembering how the Hall of Fame lefthander would sweat trying to find ways to get the light-hitting Uecker out---Bob Uecker, of all people, owned a .400 batting average against Koufax in 1965.
