Bobby Bonilla

Norm Cash

"I believe salaries are at their peak, not just in baseball, but all sports. It's quite possible some owners will trade away, or even drop entirely, players who expect $200,000 salaries. There's a superstar born every year... But still there is no way clubs can continue to increase salaries to the level some players are talking about."
Peter O'Malley, 1971.

"I believe in the Rip Van Winkle Theory: that a man from 1910 must be able to wake up after being asleep for seventy years, walk into a ballpark and understand baseball perfectly."
Bowie Kuhn, Commissioner of Baseball (1969-1984) [Baldham Boars]
----------------------------- ----------------------------- ----------------------------- ------------------
"I think a baseball field must be the most beatiful thing in the world. It's so honest and precise. And we play on it. Every star gets humbled. Every mediocre player has a great moment." Lowell Cohn in "The Temple of Baseball" (1981) [Baldham Boars]
----------------------------- ----------------------------- ---------------------------
"When we played softball, I'd steal 2nd base, feel guilty and go back."Woody Allen
----------------------------- ----------------------------- ----------------------------- ----------------------"I'm not an athlete. I'm a professional baseball player."
John Kruk
----------------------------- ----------------------------- ----------------------------- -----------------------
"If a woman has to choose between catching a fly ball and saving an infant's life, she will choose to save the infant's life without even considering if there are men on base."
----------------------------- ----------------------------- ----------------------------- -----------------
"When you think about it, a home run is a mistake.The idea is to hit the ball hard, on a line, so the defense can't react to it. Hit it high in the air, which is how most home runs are hit, and most of the time it will be caught. It's a mistake."
Matt Williams, Indians third baseman, always a threat to make a mistake.
----------------------------- ----------------------------- ----------------------------- -------------------
"One thing anyone can go through is a slump. Unless you're Greg Maddux, it's going to happen to everybody." Mike Piazza, Dodgers Catcher [Freising Grizzlies]
----------------------------- ----------------------------- ----------------------------- ---------------
"Errors are part of my image. One night in Pittsburgh, thirty thousand fans gave me a standing ovation when I caught a hot dog wrapper on the fly." Dick "Stonefingers" Stuart, First Baseman for the Phillies, Pirates, Mets, Dodgers, Angels and Red Sox in the sixties, on himself [Baldham Boars]
