    I think he was a golden glove boxer and not too many people charged the mound when being hit by one of his inside fastballs.
  • There are so many funny quotes in baseball . Heres a few.......

    I hated to bat against Drysdale. After he hit you he'd come around, look at the bruise on your arm and say, 'Do you want me to sign it?' .....Mickey Mantle


    It took me seventeen years to get three thousand hits in baseball. I did it in one afternoon on the golf course........Hank Aaron

    Candlestick was built on the water. It should have been built under it." .....Roger Maris


    I think I was the best baseball player I ever saw......Willie Mays

    The best way to catch a knuckleball was to wait until it stops rolling and then pick it up- Bob Uecker

    BOBBY ... never heard that one before ... one of the best I ever heard ... even it it comes from "Bucket Head".

    What's a "quote" thread worth without quoting YOGI:

    A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore.

    Baseball is ninety percent mental and the other half is physical.

    He hits from both sides of the plate. He's amphibious.

    I always thought that record would stand until it was broken.

    I never said most of the things I said.

    I'm not going to buy my kids an encyclopedia. Let them walk to school like I did.

    If the world was perfect, it wouldn't be.

    If you come to a fork in the road, take it.

    It was impossible to get a conversation going, everybody was talking too much.

    It's like deja-vu, all over again.

    Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded.

    So I'm ugly. So what? I never saw anyone hit with his face.

    When you arrive at a fork in the road, take it.

    You wouldn't have won if we'd beaten you.
    STAY HEALTHY!
