I don't understand how anyone hits a baseball. You play golf and the damned thing is sitting there and all you've got to do is hit it, and that's hard enough.

Baseball has got to be fun, because if it's not fun, it's a long time to be in agony.
Milwaukee Brewers
Manager
Never let a pitcher who lost a tough game that afternoon be your driver that night. The fellow gets beaten 2 to 1 or 1 to 0. Maybe somebody booted one and cost him the ball game. Maybe the umpire missed a strike on him, or maybe somebody popped up with a chance to win the game. The pitcher gets behind that wheel and he gets brooding over what happened that afternoon. Life doesn't mean anything to him, his or the lives of the guys riding with him. He takes curves at fifty miles an hour and tries to run trucks off the road. What does he care? He just lost a tough ball game.
