Baseman Quotes

God watches over drunks and third baseman Picture Quote #1

The base paths belonged to me, the runner. The rules gave me the right. I always went into a bag full speed, feet first. I had sharp spikes on my shoes. If the baseman stood where he had no business to be and got hurt, that was his fault Picture Quote #1

Pop flies, in a sense, are just a diversion for a second baseman. Grounders are his stock trade Picture Quote #1

I took a huge risk leaving baseball, because I was predicted to play in the big leagues. I’m kind of a prototypical second baseman Picture Quote #1

My major league debut came at old Busch Stadium on Grand Avenue in St. Louis, against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The first pitch I threw was to third baseman Bob Bailey. It was a fastball, low and away. He ripped it for a home run down the left field line. I said, ‘Damn, that was a pretty good pitch Picture Quote #1

I was trying to land an 18-year-old strapping first baseman from Blanco, Texas, population 200. His name was Willie Upshaw. It turned out there were only three scouts who knew about Willie - Dave Yocum and I working for the Yankees, and Al LaMacchia from the Atlanta Braves Picture Quote #1

For several years, I have had my eye on second baseman Del Pratt of St. Louis. I cannot say that he is a better player than our own Joe Gedeon, but he has played better ball, and we wanted him. Well, how did I get him? I paid $15,000 in cash and gave away a number of good players for him. But what can you do? Picture Quote #1

I took a huge risk leaving baseball, because I was predicted to play in the big leagues. I’m kind of a prototypical second baseman Picture Quote #1

There was a time when rival teams used a shift against me. They would put the second baseman on the shortstop’s side of the bag, move the shortstop into the hole to his right, and have the third baseman hug the foul line. The idea was to build an infield wall against a known right-handed pull hitter Picture Quote #1

As a first baseman, hitting home runs is what’s expected of me. But I don’t really try to hit home runs Picture Quote #1
