way catchers ifs
You have to draft a catcher, because if you don't have one, the pitch will roll all the way back to the screen.
guy saws all-time
I never saw anyone like Ty Cobb. No one even close to him as the greatest all-time ballplayer. That guy was superhuman, amazing.
signing signing-autographs slips
I love signing autographs. I'll sign anything but veal cutlets. My ballpoint slips on veal cutlets.
people luck bad-luck
You make your own luck. Some people have bad luck all their lives.
baseball games mad
I'm mad at him, too, for being out late. But I'm not mad enough to take a chance on losing a ball game and possibly the pennant.
cutting noses spite
Don't cut off your nose yourself.
player great-men response
I was once asked what it takes to be a great manager...my response? Great players.
running baseball two
I don't like them fellas who drive in two runs and let in three.
yankees rooms needs
If anybody needs me, I'm in my room being embalmed.
strong hands yankees
Well, the fella I got on there is hitting pretty good and I know he can make that throw, and if he don't make it that other fella I got coming has shown me a lot, and if he can't I have my guy and I know what he can do. On the other hand, the guy's not around now. And, well, this guy may be able to do it against left-handers if my guy ain't strong enough. I know one of my guys is gonna do it.
sports kissing umpires
The trouble with women umpires is that I couldn't argue with one. I'd put my arms around her and give her a little kiss.
sports baseball crazy
If you're playing baseball and thinking about managing, you're crazy. You'd be better off thinking about being an owner.
two speaks-french yankees
Because there'd be two languages I couldn't speak, French and English.
yankees want being-the-best
If you ran a delicatessen store, you would want to be the best delicatessen store, wouldn't you? Well, that's how I feel about the Yankees.
