“Rich Folkers is throwing up in the bullpen.”

“They throw you a spark in the spring and you've got to fan it into a flame and make it last all season.”

“Oh, my God, an opposite-field home run for Ozzie Smith!”

“Not only is he a great shortstop, but he's also a great former shortstop.”

“The first thing you do when you get out to the mound is kick the rubber, tweak your cap, and look in for the sign.”

“Winfield goes back to the wall. He hits his head on the wall and it rolls off! It's rolling all the way back to second base!”

“He slides into second with a stand-up double.”

“On the mound is Randy Jones, the left-hander with the Karl Marx hairdo.”

“I've been in two wars and I've been a Yankee. I've had the best of both worlds.”

“If you're a military person, you have one of two superior officers: God and your commanding officer. In that order.”

“Baseball is the only sport I know that when you're on offense, the other team controls the ball.”

“George Hendrick simply lost that sun-blown pop-up.”
