| #10871 | | I do not care if half the league strikes. Those who do will encounter
quick retribution. All will be suspended, and I don't care if it wrecks
the National League for five years. This is the United States of America
and one citizen has as much right to play as another.
-- Ford Frick, National League President, reacting to a
threatened strike by some Cardinal players in 1947 if
Jackie Robinson took the field against St. Louis. The
Cardinals backed down and played.

| #10872 | | I guess I've been so wrapped up in playing the game that I never took
time enough to figure out where the goal line was -- what it meant to

go before they reach the level of intensity and dedication to sports
that enables men to be such incredible jerks about it.
-- Dave Barry, "Sports is a Drag"

| #10878 | | I went to the race track once and bet on a horse that was so good that
it took seven others to beat him!

|
| #10879 | | I would be batting the big feller if they wasn't ready with the other one,
but a left-hander would be the thing if they wouldn't have knowed it already
because there is more things involved than could come up on the road, even
after we've been home a long while.
-- Casey Stengel

| #10880 | | I would rather say that a desire to drive fast sports cars is what sets
man apart from the animals.
