Quotes[edit]

Some people want a big deal, they do. All you've got to do is go to Arlington National Cemetery to see where the True American Heros are. Just go there. Me, I want to be donated or stuffed or propped up in a chair holding a beer in one hand and a cigar in the other. I could care less what happens to me. Scatter my ashes in my cat's litter box. They can throw me in the water as chum.

Baseball is about the players! Without the players, there is no game!

"History should be accurate."

"When I was a kid, my Uncle told me, "Yankee Haters are like a mad dog! You can't reason with them, you can't talk to them, all you can do is shoot them."
