Zitat des Tages von Bill Lee:
Kids don't learn the fundamentals of baseball at the games anymore.
The only rule I got is if you slide, get up.
When cerebral processes enter into sports, you start screwing up. It's like the Constitution, which says separate church and state. You have to separate mind and body.
The other day they asked me about mandatory drug testing. I said I believed in drug testing a long time ago. All through the sixties I tested everything.
You have two hemispheres in your brain - a left and a right side. The left side controls the right side of your body and right controls the left half. It's a fact. Therefore, left-handers are the only people in their right minds.
I'm mad at Hank Aaron for deciding to play one more season. I threw him his last home run and thought I'd be remembered forever. Now, I'll have to throw him another.
That was real baseball. We weren't playing for money. They gave us Mickey Mouse watches that ran backwards.
I would change policy, bring back natural grass and nickel beer. Baseball is the belly-button of our society. Straighten out baseball, and you straighten out the rest of the world.
I think about the cosmic snowball theory. A few million years from now the sun will burn out and lose its gravitational pull. The earth will turn into a giant snowball and be hurled through space. When that happens it won't matter if I get this guy out.
The more self-centered and egotistical a guy is, the better ballplayer he's going to be.
People are too hung up on winning. I can get off on a really good helmet throw.
You should enter a ballpark the way you enter a church.
