Description

"I can remember a reporter asking me for a quote, and I didn't know what a quote was. I thought it was some kind of soft drink."--Joe DiMaggio, Hall of Fame outfielder. Back again, for a third edition, this compendium of the greatest baseball quotes of all time offers both the wisdom of the world and the bull of the bullpen. From the absurd and profound "Yogi-isms" of Yogi Berra ("If you come to a fork in the road, take it") to some of the best put-downs ever ("He's good, but I don't think there's anyone in the world who's as good as he thinks he is"), this work (organized by theme) will remind every reader that there is plenty of time for conversation while the game goes on.
