He pitched me like it was the seventh game of the World Series, ... I guess he thought it was Joe DiMaggio up there.
fun winning games
Whoever said "It's not whether you win or lose but how you play the game" is full of it! Winning makes all the difference in the world. Winning is fun. Losing is not. Losing sucks.
missing-you sports games
The greatest competitor was Bob Gibson. He worked so fast out there and he always had the hood up. He always wanted to close his own deal. He never talked to you because he was battling so hard. I sure as hell don't miss batting against him, but I miss him in the game.

I've been wrong about six times as far as that goes. Now I am hoping they do something, but I sure am not optimistic. I am less optimistic as every month goes by.
allowed baseball based bet influence injuries inside less took unfair
During the times I gambled as a manager, I never took an unfair advantage, ... I never bet more or less based on injuries or inside information. I never allowed my wagers to influence my baseball decisions. So in my mind, I wasn't corrupt.

I used to tell him that with two outs and a man on second, I want Arnold at the plate.

I think people understand that I understand I made some mistakes and I can?t change them,
believe bench best catcher far greatest history johnny mike offensive record
Of course, I believe that Mike Piazza is probably the greatest offensive catcher in the history of baseball, only got over 50%. Johnny Bench is the best catcher in the history of baseball, but Piazza has all the record for catchers as far as offensively.
