You Gotta Love Those Sports Interviews...

Listened to one just this afternoon - and here it is word for word.

Announcer to Baseball Player:

What do you guys have to do to win tonight?

Player:

We gotta pitch strikes and keep them off the bases.

Simply Profound.

I can just imagine how the old Yankee Catcher Yogi Berra would have answered the question:

We have to make sure that after the last pitch we are one run ahead.


And here are some real Yogi quotes:

  • a nickel ain't worth a dime anymore;
  • always go to other people's funerals or they won't go to yours;
  • baseball is 90% mental and the other half is physical;
  • I always thought that record would stand until it was broken;
  • I never said most of the things I said;
  • I wish I had an answer to that because I am tired of answering that question;
  • If people don't want to come out to the ball park, nobody's gonna stop 'em;

and finally, If you ask me anything I don't know, I am not going to answer.

One thing is for sure, Yogi's answers or non answers are far more interesting.

As I see it...
