HOF 2000; a.k.a. "Pudge"

If things do wind up working out, it will be because it was a good fit for both sides, not because we showed him a good time. I don't believe there is a need to show him Chicago. He has been to Chicago and from what I understand he has had a good time already.

I think they're the greatest ball club I've ever seen. Period.

During the 1919 "Black Sox" scandal, while on the witness stand after an exhaustive cross examination addressing cheating among ballplayers which culminated with the question, "Well. What do you think of these players of yours NOW, Mr. Gleason?"

William J. "Kid" Gleason
Chicago White Sox
Manager

It is a wonderful combination -- the greatest team I ever had. I can't pick out individuals because they are all giants in baseball. It is by all odds the greatest team in the American League. I couldn't pass a higher compliment. I can afford to single out one, Kid Gleason, because he is a manager. He has kept pace with the team and that means something. It is the best bunch of fighters I ever saw. No game is lost until the last man is out. They can think for themselves which is still better. To say that I am proud of them is putting it mildly. They have been setting the pace most of the time and no other team deserves being in front more than they.

Describing his team as it was about to win the AL pennant (eight team members subsequently became involved in the Black Sox Scandal)

HOF 1939; aka. "The Old Roman", "Commy"

I started fouling off his pitches. I took a pitch every now and then. Pretty soon, after 24 fouls, old Red could hardly lift his arm and I walked. That's when they took him out of the game and he cussed me all the way to the dugout.

If this is the best job in baseball, then why do you guys get gray hair and fat so quickly?

Oswaldo José "Ozzie" Guillen

Manager

Seriously, I'm gonna need a glove.

After being advised that he would start the day's ballgame at 3B for the first time in his major league career due to a player injury, and following up his first reply that he'd need a glove in order to do so, to the laughter of his teammates at the breakfast table

Christopher Jon "Chris" Widger
Chicago White Sox
Catcher

Hitting in a game is no different than hitting in a home run contest. It pisses me off to say Barry Bonds is the greatest hitter. He's playing in a wussy era. The game is soft. You never get thrown at today. Last thing a hitter has to worry about today is getting hit. The first thing Hank Aaron had to worry about is: Am I going to survive this at-bat because I'm black.
