Baseball Quote?

[Richard]

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."

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

I'm just impressed that you managed to figure out what she was asking for.
