The Lord taught me to love everybody, but the last ones I learned to love were the sportswriters.

Every player should be accorded the privilege of at least one season with the Chicago Cubs. That's baseball as it should be played - in God's own sunshine. And that's really living.

The writers want to know were you made your mistake, no how well your curve is breaking.

Friendships are forgotten when the game begins.

A fellow has to have faith in God above and Rollie Fingers in the bullpen.
