"What can I do, I asked myself, that is so spectacular that no one will be able to say he had seen it..." — Bill Veeck

After a month or so in St. Louis, we were looking around desperately for a way to draw a few people into the ball park, it being perfectly clear by that time that the ball club wasn't going to do it unaided.

I try not to kid myself. You know, I don't mind romancing someone else, but to fool yourself is pretty devastating and dangerous.

I have discovered in 20 years of moving around a ballpark, that the knowledge of the game is usually in inverse proportion to the price of the seats.

Look, we play the Star Spangled Banner before every game. You want us to pay income taxes, too?
