One day I went swimming with a friend and afterward we were laying on the riverbank talking about what we wanted to be when we grew up. He said he'd like to be President of the United States. I said I wanted to be a real major league ball player like Honus Wagner. At least one of us got our wish
-- Harry S Truman (paraphrasing)

"I'd like to buy him [John Montefusco] for what I think he's worth and sell him for what he thinks he's worth." -Tommy Lasorda

"There's a lot of heredity in that family." -Kiner

A book could be filled with the unintentionally hilarious things Ralph Kiner said during his broadcasts. Jayson Stark, who writes on ESPN.com now, used to keep track of notable Kinerisms in his column in the Philadelphia Inquirer (we used to get Met games on cable, so I witnessed a few myself).

Here's one I saw on the A's jumbotron a few years back - "Oakland is 73-0 when leading after 9 innings"

"I'm not trying to be cocky, but I set such a high standard for myself. I'm not happy when I pitch seven innings and give up two runs and get a win.” - Barry Zito

I bet he would have been happy with that last season.

In the waning days of their careers, Yogi and Warren Spahn were briefly teammates with the New York Mets. Yogi was asked if he and Warren were the oldest Pitcher/Catcher battery ever. Yogi responded, "I don't know if we're the oldest, but we sure are the ugliest."
