running home play
I'm mad at Hank Aaron for deciding to play one more season. I threw him his last home run and thought I'd be remembered forever. Now, I'll have to throw him another.
winning people helmet
People are too hung up on winning. I can get off on a really good helmet throw.
baseball two people
You have only two hemispheres in your brain - a left and a right side. The left side controls the right side of your body and the right controls the left half. It's a fact. Therefore, left-handers are the only people in their right minds.
baseball nice army
Baseball is a lot like the Army, there aren't many individuals. About the only difference is that baseball players get to stay in nice hotels instead of barracks.
sports new-york team
You take a team with twenty-five assholes and I'll show you a pennant. I'll show you the New York Yankees.
baseball thinking years
I think about the cosmic snowball theory. A few million years from now the sun will burn out and lose its gravitational pull. The earth will turn into a giant snowball and be hurled through space. When that happens it won't matter if I get this guy out.
weed mean marijuana
Smoking's a way to let you down slowly from a ballgame. It also makes you use less of the resources around. It makes people better in the way they act towards society. Everybody's nicer. It's hard to be mean when you're stoned.
sports mind church
When cerebral processes enter into sports, you start screwing up. It's like the Constitution, which says separate church and state. You have to separate mind and body.
weed marijuana long
The other day they asked me about mandatory drug testing. I said I believed in drug testing a long time ago. All through the sixties I tested everything.
baseball marijuana pancakes
I told [reporters] that I sprinkled marijuana on my organic buckwheat pancakes, and then when I ran my five miles to the ballpark, it made me impervious to the bus fumes. That's when [Baseball Commissioner] Bowie Kuhn took me off his Christmas list.
running stress believe
Alcohol is like anything else. It's only as bad as the person it's being poured into. If it's used to heighten an occasion, or to take an edge off stress, I don't see a problem. Trouble starts when you either lose control and let the bottle run you, or when you believe its promises of immortality. You realize that no matter how much you punish yourself, you always seem to wake up the next day. Pretty soon you're convinced that you will never die. When that happens I guess it is time to look for help before your life becomes one long, lost weekend.
city fun greater history honor kansas lives metro musical people saying state trying
What we're trying to do is honor the people that have contributed to the musical history of the state of Kansas and the greater Kansas City metro area. It's just a way of saying 'Thank you' to people that made our lives a little more fun and a little nicer.
advertising approaches building conclusive customers developing emerging front lines paying people processes research sales sell technology
The research is pretty conclusive at this point. Traditional sales approaches and advertising don't sell technology anymore. Customers do. Our people are on the front lines of this emerging trend. They're the ones building the organizations, developing the systems, and implementing the nuts-and-bolts processes to get customers in front of prospects. And it's paying off.
