I'm mad at him, too, for being out late. But I'm not mad enough to take a chance on losing a ball game and possibly the pennant.

I never saw anyone like Ty Cobb. No one even close to him as the greatest all-time ballplayer. That guy was superhuman, amazing.

I would not admire hitting against Ryne Duren, because if he ever hit you in the head you might be in the past tense.

You have to have a catcher because if you don't you're likely to have a lot of passed balls.
