Being a lover of baseball, I enjoy every facet of the game. That includes some of the craziest and outrageous quotes when these superstars and broadcasters step up to the microphone. Yogi Berra was made famous by his confusing and hilarious quips, but he isn’t alone. Here are a few quotes that will make you smile a little and hopefully laugh out loud a lot.

“Well, I see in the game in Minnesota thar Terry Felton has relieved himself on the mound in the second inning.” Fred White, sportscaster for the Kansas City Royals

Folks, this is perfect weather for today’s game. Not a breath of fresh air. Curt Gowdy, sportscaster

All I said was that the trades were stupid and dumb, and they took that and blew it all out of proportion. Ron Davis, Minnesota Twins pitcher

If Jesus were on the field, he’d be pitching inside and breaking up double plays. He’d be high fiving the other guys. Tim Burke, Montral Expo pitcher

I am throwing twice as hard as I ever did. It’s just not getting there as fast. Lefty Gomez, NY Yankee pitcher

I prefer fast food. Rocky Bridges, infielder, when asked why he wouldn’t eat snails

Always root for the winner. That way you won’t be disappointed. Tug McGraw

Raise the urinals. Darrel Chaney, Braves infielder, on how to keep the team on it’s toes

I lost it in the sun. Billy Loes, Brooklyn pitcher, after fumbling a grounder

Sometimes they write what I say and not what I mean. Pedro Guerrero, NL infielder and outfielder

I’m a huge fan of baseball primarily because I played it for so many years. It’s the best! However, I will continue to poke the baseball bear in the eye whenever possible. The game is sacred to me, but the individual players are not. So, let’s have a little fun today.
