funny softball baseball
I never threw an illegal pitch. The trouble is, once in a while I toss one that ain't never been seen by this generation.
baseball philosophy simple
My pitching philosophy is simple - keep the ball way from the bat.
men steps bats
I use my single windup, my double windup, my triple windup, my hesitation windup, my no windup. I also use my step-n-pitch-it, my submariner, my sidearmer and my bat dodger. Man's got to do what he's got to do.
team knowing firsts
One time I snuck a ball on with me and when I went to winding up, I threw one of them balls to first and one to second. I was so smooth I picked off both runners and fanned the batter without that ump or the other team even knowing it.
sports baseball jobs
I ain't ever had a job, I just always played baseball.
reality men beats
If a man can beat you, walk him.
motivational baseball winning
You win a few, you lose a few. Some get rained out. But you got to dress for all of them.
bats balls fats
You gotta keep the ball off the fat part of the bat.
running lying moving
Avoid fried meats which angry up the blood. If your stomach disputes you, lie down and pacify it with cool thoughts. Keep the juices flowing by jangling around gently as you move. Go very light on the vices, such as carrying on in society. The social ramble ain't restful. Avoid running at all times. Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you.
motivational smile sports
Smile well and often, it makes people wonder what you've been up to.
cells years two
If you want to live a long time, don't fool with nothing old but money, nothing big but a bank roll, nothing black but a Cadillac, nothing over twenty-two years, nothing that weighs over 130. If you do, you're in trouble. 'Cause when you're getting old and your cells gettin' low, you'll need a Delco battery to boost ya.
sports baseball moving
Just take the ball and throw it where you want to. Throw strikes. Home plate don't move.
thank-you thanksgiving baseball
Don't pray when it rains if you don't pray when the sun shines.
