Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the damn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all." - Weaver, Earl. The Genius of Earl Weaver. Stetka, Bill. MLB Staff Writer. 19 January 2021.
