"Brooks Robinson did stuff like that, and he did better stuff over the course of the year. I’ve always maintained that if Brooks Robinson had been playing at Yankee Stadium in New York, I think he could have run for President. He was that special" Boog Powell

"Steve Dalkowski threw harder than anybody I ever saw, he even threw his slider 95 miles per hour. One day in the outfield, I said, ‘You can throw a ball through that fence, can’t you?' So he did. Right through those 1-by-6 boards. He was just phenomenal." Davey Johnson "His

The scene in "The Shawshank Redemption" where Morgan Freeman is pitching a baseball took 9 hours to shoot. Freeman pitched it for the entire 9 hours without a single word of complaint and showed up for work the next day with his arm in a sling.

"When I was very young, most of my heroes wore capes, flew through the air, picked up buildings with one arm. They were spectacular. But as I grew, my heroes changed, so that now I can honestly say that anyone who does anything to help a child, is a hero to me" Mr. Fred Rogers

"Mickey Mantle’s at shortstop taking ground balls, throwing ’em by the first baseman, and outta the dugout comes Casey Stengel. He’s got a fungo bat in his hand, and he runs right at Mantle. Stengel starts waving this bat at him, he shoos Mantle out into the outfield, and turns
