If you do a good job the numbers say so.
You don't have to ask anyone or play politics.
You don't have to wait for the reviews."
Sandy Koufax, Dodgers Pitcher (1955-66)
"Baseball is like a poker game. Nobody wants to
quit when he's losing. Nobody wants you to
quit when you're ahead."
Jackie Robinson, Dodgers infielder (1947-56)
"I could never play in New York.
The first time I came into a game there, I got into
the bullpen car and they told me to lock the doors."

"I never blame myself when I'm not hitting.
I just blame the bat and if it keeps up, I change
bats. After all, if I know it isn't my fault that I'm
not hitting, how can I get mad at myself?"
Yogi Berra
"It's a good thing Babe Ruth isn't here.
If he was, George Steinbrenner would
have him bat seventh and say he's overweight."
Graig Nettles

My Prized Piece of Baseball Memorabilia
Back in the day ...
I used to deal in baseball cards, and some memorabilia in the mid to late 1980 s. Through an old client I had the opportunity to sell a very rare piece of baseball lore. The piece that I was fondest of was a rare document signed by Harry Wright. A founding father of the game. The document was a contract of some player that was signed by Harry Wright, the manager, circa 1870. It was written on Cincinnati Red Stockings letterhead.
I was impressed. I was so excited to be entrusted with this rare artifact. I remember saying to myself.
