"Hello again, everybody. It's a bee-yooo-tiful day for baseball." -- Harry Caray
Instead of quoting various sports bloggers' stories today, we've decided to bust out some of the more memorable quotes from the players themselves. Enjoy!
"If a tie is like kissing your sister, then losing is like kissing your grandmother with her teeth out." [George Brett]
"I get the ball, I throw the ball, and then I take a shower." [Mariano Rivera]
"Why should I stretch? Does a cheetah stretch before it chases its prey?" [Ken Griffey Jr.]
"I've seldom seen a horny player walk into a bar and not let out exactly what he did for a living." [Johnny Bench]
"I was such a dangerous hitter I even got intentional walks during batting practice." [Casey Stengel]
"I think everyone is ticklish. You just gotta find the right spots." [Derek Jeter]
"When I began playing the game, baseball was about as gentlemanly as a kick in the crotch" [Ty Cobb]
"Anybody with ability can play in the big leagues. But to be able to trick people year in and year out, the way I did, I think that was a much greater feat." [Bob Uecker]
"The reality is that players can't play forever." [Cal Ripken, Jr.]

Speaking of Jeter and ticklish, I can't get enough of this link found over via Simmons at the four-letter word:

I think Johnny Bench's quote may have been the wisest.
Randball, that was awesome. I know just the gal who HATES Derek Jeter who'll be getting one of those from me this afternoon...
I think you're right, Megs.
