FAMOUS QUOTES
Baseball was made for kids, and grown-ups only screw it up. ~Bob Lemon
Baseball is a fun game. It beats working for a living. ~Phil Linz
Back then, my idol was Bugs Bunny, because I saw a cartoon of him playing ball - you know, the one where he plays every position himself with nobody else on the field but him? Now that I think of it, Bugs is still my idol. You have to love a ballplayer like that. ~Nomar Garciaparra
