"The day Custer lost at the Little Big Horn,
the Chicago White Sox beat the Cincinnati Red Legs 3-2.
Both teams wore knickers, and they're still wearing them today."

"Well, I believe in the soul.....the cock.....the pussy.....
the small of a woman's back...the hangin' curveball....high fiber.....
good scotch...that the novels of Susan Sontag are self indulgent over-rated crap....
I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.
I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment
outlawing astro-turf and the designated hitter.
I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography,
opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve
and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.
Goodnight!"
(Crash Davis)

is to witness the flawless execution of the hit and run".
(Branch Rickey, Baseball Owner)
