I'm sure glad this isn't my home ball park.

You got to play a hundred and fifty games a year, so pick your spots. You can miss two games a month; so pick the days you're gonna be hurt, or you're gonna rest or you're gonna have a drink or two. The rest of the time, be on that field.

Whatever we do, make sure we clean up baseball.
