Zitat des Tages von Vin Scully:
If I can get a story about a player, I would give you a ship load of numbers, batting averages and all just for that one precious story. That's the kind of thing that I love to do.
Losing feels worse than winning feels good.
I really love baseball. The guys and the game, and I love the challenge of describing things. The only thing I hate - and I know you have to be realistic and pay the bills in this life - is the loneliness on the road.
Statistics are used much like a drunk uses a lamppost: for support, not illumination.
Don't let the winds blow your dreams away... or steal your faith in God.
I'm going to sit back, light up, and hope I don't chew the cigarette to pieces.
It's a great time of the year... if you can stand it.
Andre Dawson has a bruised knee and is listed as day-to-day. Aren't we all?
That really is my trademark. Day to day, week in, week out. If something happens and the crowd roars, I shut up.
Good is not good when better is expected.
It's easier to pick off a fast runner than to pick off a lazy runner.
A man really determines himself by what he does.
It's a wonderful feeling to be a bridge to the past and to unite generations. The sport of baseball does that, and I am just a part of it.
You can almost taste the pressure now.
Be a bobbed cork: When you are pushed down, bob up.
When I was very small, maybe 8 years old, we had a big radio that stood on four legs, and it had a cross piece underneath it, and I used to take a pillow and crawl under the radio.
If I categorized home runs that I've seen, without a doubt the monumental one is Henry's... but I've seen a lot of classic, great home runs. Gibson's was probably the most theatrical home run I've ever seen.
I've told several writers this, and, again, I get back to it, but if you want to make God smile, tell him your plans.
