"The only thing Earl (Weaver) knows about big-league pitching is that he couldn't hit it." - Jim Palmer
"The only thing (insert non-pitcher's name here) knows about big-league pitching is that he couldn't hit it." - (insert any pitcher's name here)

SDS, I of course have no way to verify the origin of the quote, but I got it from Bob Gibson's brother, when he was interviewed for a Sports Century episode about Gibson.
But you're correct, insert name here.....

I was watching the Braves vs. Twins in the 1991 World Series today. McCarver was even worse back then than he is now if that can be believed. He went into a four minute dissertation about why the catcher always tries to keep the edges of the plate clean so the umpire can see them. Nevermind the fact that the plate was completely cleaned off and the catcher was moving dirt in front of it with his hand.

Okay with him. For now. A shred of honesty as a PR ploy. Oh yeah, that's a ringing endorsement!
That is beautiful ... a shred of honesty as a PR ploy! I love that. Maybe even as much as you did.
