Zitat des Tages von Mike Schmidt:
They read their sports pages, know their statistics and either root like hell or boo our butts off. I love it. Give me vocal fans, pro or con, over the tourist types who show up in Houston or Montreal and just sit there.
Virtually every civilized society today holds sacred the right to peaceably bury their dead.
I don't think I can get into my deep inner thoughts about hitting. It's like talking about religion.
Pete Rose is the most likable arrogant person I've ever met.
If you could equate the amount of time and effort put in mentally and physically into succeeding on the baseball field and measured it by the dirt on your uniform, mine would have been black.
I could ask the Phillies to keep me on to add to my statistics, but my love for the game won't let me do that.
I've got to tell you right out of the chute, Ryan Howard, to me, is very interested in my input in his hitting. To me that makes me really feel good. We've chatted over the years about hitting.
I'm 61 now, and I'm comfortable in my lifestyle... I don't yearn for the limelight on a regular basis. I get a kick out of it every so often. I go to Philly and go to a game, and they make a big deal about me. That's fun for a couple of days, and I can go back to my own private life.
