Fifty years from now I'll be just three inches of type in a record book.

(Monday's) 1.81 inches was a record for this calendar date. The previous record was for 1.50 inches in 1979.

I'm a guy who just wanted to see his name in the lineup everyday. To me, baseball was a passion to the point of obsession.

The total last year was about 15 inches, and that puts it down as the 15th driest year on record. So with that dry last year combined with what we were experiencing so far this year, it really does not portend very well for the future.

If Wally gets excited and gives him an inch, ... it's going to be two or three inches.

I almost wish we were butterflies and liv'd but three summer days - three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain.
