That pitch wasn't down and in, that pitch was down and up.

When Steve Carlton and I die, we're gonna be burried 60'6" apart.

Well, David Eckstein, like most of us, has 20 digits. Ten fingers. Ten toes.

One thing about ground balls: they don't go out of the ballpark.

Carlton does not pitch to the hitter, he pitches through him. The batter hardly exists for Steve. He's playing an elevated game of catch.

The playoffs are the wedge between the season and the World Series. If you lose, it means you won't be going to the greatest sports event in this country...You're forgotten by Thanksgiving.

Something to keep in mind - it’s raining lightly. The infield could be very wet on ground balls.
