Winning one league title at Roma to me is worth winning 10 at Juventus or Real Madrid.
I'd like to help educate kids about the Major Leagues - what to anticipate, what to expect, what they'll need to do to prepare themselves
I predict that many teams will go out of business and the size of the leagues will be greatly reduced.
Academia is a rarified culture, especially an Ivy League academic background.
When real independence comes to India, the Congress and the League will be nowhere unless they represent the real opinion of the country.
Next year we have to be even better. If we want to be a big club this has to be one of many.
Like some cult religion that barely survives, there has always been at least one but rarely more than five or six devotees throwing the knuckleball in the big leagues. . . Not only can't pitchers control it, hitters can't hit it, catchers can't catch it, coaches can't coach it and most pitchers can't learn it. The perfect pitch.
The dietician is going to get rid of that when he comes in. Although, first, we've got to get a dietician.
Tolerance to my mind has been greatly overrated. . . . I take as much pleasure in detesting the good brothers and sisters of the [Anti-Saloon] League as they have in hating me.
Where the great force lies, there must be the sanction of peace.
Half a league Half a league Half a league onward With a hey-nonny-nonny And a hot cha-cha.
There are those who argue that the concept of human rights is not applicable to all cultures. We in the National League for Democracy believe that human rights are of universal relevance. But even those who do not believe in human rights must certainly agree that the rule of law is most important. Without the rule of law there can be no peace.
The time for letting the Christian bashing go on essentially unchallenged has come to an end. . . There is a great need for a Christian anti-defamation league. To some degree, there is such an organization emerging on the horizon, the Catholic League. . . I have had it on my heart for about a decade - and have even expressed the thought - that a Christian anti-defamation league would be helpful.
American League teams don't bunt very often. National League teams bunt a lot.
My real-life athletic career was not very much. I played Little League baseball.
I couldn't believe I hit. 342. I hit. 333 one month in Triple-A. Otherwise, I hit. 279 in the minor leagues. I'm proud of myself.
Watching National League pitchers trying to hit or even bunt is depressing.
We were totally opposite - me coming from the West Coast and a junior college, and him [ Christopher Reeve] from the hard-core Ivy League. He used to be the studly studly of all studlies, and I was the little fool ferret boy.
I couldn't give a s***! He just can't take it. Good old Jose, moaning again.
Athletes who take to the classroom naturally or are encouraged to focus on grades should be able to do well in the classroom. I believe the reason you go to college is to get your degree. It's not a minor league or an audition for the pros
