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.

I played for Casey Stengel before and after he was a genius.

We try every way we can to kill this game but for some reason nothin' nobody does never hurts it.

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.

I'd love to be my wife for one day---so I can see how wonderful it is to be married to me.

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.

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.

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.)
