Quotes of 1934

Quotes taken from the authors in 1934

Sportsmanship and easygoing methods are all right, but it is the prospect of a hot fight that brings out the crowds

John McGraw

In playing or managing, the game of ball is only fun for me when I'm out in front and winning. I don't give a hill of beans for the rest of the game.

John McGraw

Cobb would have to play center field on my all time team. But where would that put Speaker? In left. If I had them both, I would certainly play them that way.

John McGraw

No club that wins a pennant once is an outstanding club. One which bunches two pennants is a good club. But a team which can win three in a row really achieves greatness.

John McGraw

Why shouldn't we pitch to Babe Ruth? We pitch to better hitters in the National League.

John McGraw

Always remember, money isn't everything - but also remember to make a lot of it before talking such fool nonsense.

Earl Wilson

Benjamin Franklin may have discovered electricity, but it was the man who invented the meter who made the money.

Earl Wilson

A woman may race to get a man a gift but it always ends in a tie.

Earl Wilson

Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death.

Earl Wilson

If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments.

Earl Wilson

Coaching is easy. Winning is the hard part.

Elgin Baylor

If you look up the definition of greatness in the dictionary, it will say Michael Jordan.

Elgin Baylor

As the wonderful agony begins for 1964-65, I sometimes wonder why I do it. I've got an insurance business going on the side, and it is starting to grow nicely. Selling insurance fulfills me, in a way, like basketball. But basketball keeps calling me back. I suppose I'll play until I can't keep up with the kids any longer.

Tom Heinsohn

In every game, there's three teams out there. There's the two basketball teams and the team of officials. If the two teams are evenly matched, it can come down to number of possessions. If one out-of-bounds call goes the wrong way, that can be the difference.

Tom Heinsohn

I enjoy watching competitive people. You watch 'em come and you watch 'em go, and how they try to be the best. How they handle when they're not. How they handle when they are. How they get along together on the court.

Tom Heinsohn

About the time you think you are getting to know the moves in this game, someone comes along and does everything but undress you on the basketball floor. Standing there under the basket with your hands cupped - and finding that you don't have the ball in them - is a great little old leveler

Tom Heinsohn

I play basketball for love and money, and they come in interchangeable order, depending on how things are going when you ask the question.

Tom Heinsohn

The truth is, it's easier for me to write than talk... to express the state I'm in at any time.

Joan Didion

I've never been keen on open adoption. It doesn't seem to solve the main problem with adoption, which is that somebody feels she was abandoned by someone else.

Joan Didion

You aren't sure if you're making the right decision - about anything, ever.

Joan Didion
