Quotes of 1999

Quotes taken from the authors in 1999

I had some friends here from North Carolina who'd never seen a homer, so I gave them a couple.

Catfish Hunter

Winning isn't everything. Wanting to win is.

Catfish Hunter

The sun don't shine on the same dog's ass all the time.

Catfish Hunter

If I had my career to play over, one thing I'd do differently is swing more. Those 1,200 walks I got, nobody remembers them.

Pee Wee Reese

If you rush in and out of the clubhouse, you rush in and out of baseball.

Pee Wee Reese

Why did they do it? Beats the hell out of me. I was just a scared kid from Kentucky, and these guys had been up in the majors for a while. I guess it was because I was just such a helluva nice kid - if you'll accept that.

Pee Wee Reese

I had only played five games in my senior year in high school. I was not large enough. Hell, when I graduated, I was about five foot four and weighed 120 pounds. I didn't go with the Dodgers until spring training of 1940 and I weighed all of 155 pounds soaking wet.

Pee Wee Reese

Being Captain of the Dodgers meant representing an organization committed to winning and trying to keep it going. We could have won every year if the breaks had gone right.

Pee Wee Reese

I wanted to be a professional drummer.

Walter Payton

Remember, tomorrow is promised to no one.

Walter Payton

If you could go back and change things, you might not be the person you are right now.

Walter Payton

I want to be remembered like Pete Rose. 'Charlie Hustle.' I want people to say, 'Wherever he was, he was always giving it his all.'

Walter Payton

Money isn't everything. Do you get married because of money? Do you have kids because of money?

Walter Payton

Baseball was the darling of all sports back then.

Marion Motley

If I don't get you now, I'll get you later.

Marion Motley

It never really bothered me that I never got the same publicity.

Marion Motley

Spectators often express disfavor of fair decisions.

Helen Wills Moody

When I play, I become entirely absorbed in the game. It may be a form of concentration.

Helen Wills Moody

Four times out of five the linesman gets a better view of the ball near him than the player himself.

Helen Wills Moody

I can remember when, as a beginner, I was delighted with any ball as long as it would bounce.

Helen Wills Moody
