BASEBALL QUOTES.
* "Look, we play The National Anthem before every game. You want us to pay taxes too?" -- baseball team owner Bill Veeck
.
* When asked for a comment by a San Francisco reporter about the then-recent assassination of longtime Dominican dictator Rafael Trujillo, one of the Alou brothers on the Giants reportedly said, (through a translator), "We didn't do it."
.
* "I've given Mike Cuellar more chances than my first wife." -- Earl Weaver
.
* "The only thing Earl knows about pitching is that he couldn't hit any."-- Jim Palmer
.
* This was in the "They Said It" part of Sports Illustrated in the late 1980s (which I can't find precisely where now so I'm going from memory), said by an Atlanta Braves coach who went out to talk to the pitcher during a game in Cincinnati after the pitcher had given up three straight home runs, resulting in three straight fireworks displays, "I don't have any advice for you. I just wanted to give them a chance to reload their cannon."
.
*"Well, a couple of grand slammers and the Brewers are right back in this one."—Uecker during the 8th inning of a game the Brewers were losing 8–0
