Quotes 

• Roger Angell : In spring training in the 70's, Ted comes and sits besides me and he said, 'you can't write this! I'm watching the young players here, and they're all batting .240.' He said, 'you know why?' and I said , 'No.' And he said ' They're having sex all the time.' It's not the phrase he used. 'And that' what they're thinking about all the time.' He said 'Roger, I didn't get laid for the first time until the All-Star break of my second year in the Major Leagues. I was thinking about hitting.'
