- Quotes by "Lamar "Rocky" Bridges, 50's baseball player:
- "I'm a handsome, debonaire, easy-going six-footer. Anyway, that's what I told them at the Braille Institute."
- "It was a good thing I was in Cincinnati for four years--it took me that long to learn how to spell it."
- "(Sitting on the bench as a major leaguer) was like being a little boy forever. I got a big charge out of seeing Ted Williams hit. Once in a while they let me try to field some of them, which sort of dimmed my enthusiasm."
- (On being asked by Chuck Dressen if he was willing to play third base to prolong his career) "Hell, yes. I'll mow your lawn if you like--I want to stay up here."
- (On his career, and relative lack of success in the majors) "I've been a paid spectator at some pretty interesting events, and I've always had a good seat. I guess they figured there was no point in carrying a good thing too far."
Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape in the new year.
