Baseball Quote?
 

At the UPS cargo phone center where I once worked, a woman called and said, "I need a baseball quote."

I immediately answered with Yogi Berra's famous "It ain't over 'til it's over!"

There was a brief moment of silence before the woman asked, "What was that?"

"You asked me for a baseball quote," I responded, "and that was the first thing that came into my head."

"Oh," she replied. "My husband told me to call and get a baseball quote."

I asked if she wanted to ship something, and she said she did. Then it dawned on me, "Do you mean you want a ballpark figure?"

That's a good one. I guess words do mean something. Thanks for sharing.

Nope, bro. . . This is the greatest Baseball quote,
Crash Davis: Well, I believe in the soul, the . . . , the . . . , the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.

Bull Durham. A movie about Baseball, loving something that dosen't love you back, and life.

Oh heck. and this one, same movie. Ebby Calvin LaLoosh: "A good friend of mine used to say, 'This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains.' Think about that for a while."

True, but I can never remember that one. "A mind is a terrible thing to waste." Or, to quote Dan Quayle's version... "It's terrible when you lose your mind." :D

I'm pretty certain its "There's no crying in baseball!". :D

If yur a gurl.:D

Or so foolish as to believe you can actually manage a group of them. :boohoo
