Suffering is overated.

Baseball is the only thing beside the paper clip that hasn't changed

The season starts too early and finishes too late and there are too many games in between.

If you can't outsmart people, outwork them.

If there is any justice in this world, to be a White Sox fan frees a man from any other form of penance.

What we have are good gray ballplayers, playing a good gray game and reading the good gray Wall Street Journal. They have been brainwashed, dry-cleaned and dehydrated!... Wake up the echoes at the Hall of Fame and you will find that baseball's immortals were a rowdy and raucous group of men who would climb down off their plaques and go rampaging through Cooperstown, taking spoils.... Deplore it if you will, but Grover Cleveland Alexander drunk was a better pitcher than Grover Cleveland Alexander sober.

I'm for the dreamers. The only really important things in history have been started by the dreamers. They never know what can't be done.
