league ifs
If I was going to make one rule change, I would bring the DH to the National League.
looked maybe paper players position three toronto
When you looked at Toronto on paper and us on paper, we had maybe two or three position players who could have made their team,
almost choice difficult fire five frank great hire impact local obvious played six stay white within
If they stay within the organization, the obvious choice is Frank White . The thing is, if you hire him, it's going to be very difficult to fire Frank White if things don't go well. He's a local guy. He played at the academy. And he made such an impact on this community. He was a great player. God, it would be tough. You'd almost be saying, 'Frank, you've got five years or six years or 10 years.'
california came extra felt friday games late lead night september seven team three town won
But that's the kind of team we were that year. We were seven games out at the All-Star break. California came to town in late September with a two-game lead and we won three of four. We won every game we had to win. We clinched on a Friday night in extra innings. We felt unbeatable.

winning years games
Even today, if the Royals win six games all year, if they're going to go 6-156, I hope they beat the Yankees six times.

I used to be a mad hitter. And then I learned the longer you wait out the ball, the better you see it. And the better you see it, the harder you hit it. And the harder you hit it, the higher your average is going to be. And the higher your average is, the more money you're going to make.
running home names
Do I want someone to get more hits than me? No. Do I want someone to hit more home runs than me? No. Do I want someone to have more RBI than me? No. I get a kick out of seeing the all-time leaders and my name's on top of every one, with the exception of strikeouts. I get a kick out of that.
golf swimming house
I was three over. One over a house, one over a patio, and one over a swimming pool.
basketball thinking games
I don't think I can play any other way but all out . . . I enjoy the game so much because I'm putting so much into it.
