11. “That's what they do- run the bases like drunks”
"This is what drives me crazy about the Yankees sometimes..."
Some of my faves from Il Maestro:
4. He winds, kicks, and deals ... STRUCK HIM OUT SWINGING!!! BALL GAME OVER!!! YANKEES WIN!!! THUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHH YANKEES WIN!!!
3. [insert mirror image name here], that palindrome of mine!
2. ... in that milieux ...
1. Why, I should be whipped, flogged, and flagellated!
There should be a lot more, but for the life of me, I can't remember any others at this time.
Ah, here's another one: "a stream of milk across the plate!"
Swung on, and there it goes! It is high, it is far, it is ... gone! BERNIE GOES BOOM!!!
All rise, here comes the JUDGE!!!
UNBELIEVABLE!!! BERNIE WILLIAMS AND DAVID JUSTICE GO BACK TO BACK, AND A BELLY TO BELLY!!! AND THE YANKEES WIN!!! THHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHH YANKEES WIN!!!
"and [insert name here] and [insert name here] and [insert name here] go a back to back to back and a belly to belly to belly"
should be "A BACK TO BACK", sorry I messed that up. (Nobody could do it like Il Maestro.)
That "belly to belly" phrase always kind of creeped me out, tbh.
He should have gotten a chance to manage. One game.
My wife & I frequently say “You can’t pretend baseball, Suzyn” when something unexpected happens.
"What a stupid place!" for Tropicana in 2021. I can no longer find this clip.
Here it is! https://x.com/JSterlingCalls/status/1420814424504475655
Thuu uhuh uhuhuhuh Yankees win!
[bows head]
Couple more:
(After umpteen foul balls) Ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, staying alive staying alive ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh
During a Yankee losing skid: the sun'll come out tomorrow, bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow, there'll be sun
On pitching:
He's painting; he's an artist; that pitch was right on the black on the outside corner.
He's as tough as they come; he won't give in and throw it over the plate; if he misses, he'll miss just off the plate.
He has an unerring belief in his ability to throw strikes; loading the bases doesn't bother him.
All right, everyone: manage!
On offense:
The Yankees can score this run just by playing A B C baseball.
He's gotta make contact here. They're conceding the run. He's gotta give himself up and just hit a groundball to short or second.
On infield defense:
The Yankees are going to bring the infield in. I like that. I hate to give up a run.
Play pepper.
Yeah, I think he also thought it kind of risque. Which is why he always said it kind of tongue in cheek. He'd pronounce the word "belly" as "bell-ee".
On Tropicana Field (I paraphrase):
You can't hear yourself think in this place. They have to fill up every moment with an explosion of sound.
On Toronto's Skydome:
They couldn't make more money here if they had a printing press.
And that ball is ... gone! It hit the window of the restaurant beyond center field!
On Yankee Stadium:
INTO THE BLACK!!! A LONG HOME RUN INTO THE BLACK BATTER'S EYE IN DEAD CENTER FIELD!!!
On Orioles Park at Camden Yards:
This place is a band box.
On the new Texas Rangers ballpark in Arlington (again, I paraphrase):
This place has a little of everything. There is a high wall in left reminiscent of the Green Monster in Fenway. There is a grassy knoll in center field. And there is a ... for want of a better term ... a bordello....
Last, but not least, how could I forget this one?
