“Yes, officer. I always visit the convents of St. Louis each trip.”
~ Babe Ruth
What is this stuff? These are things that a lineup of great MLB stars might have said as quotes from a deposition they each were giving in wildly variable life circumstance situations. We do not think you will find any of them recorded elsewhere since they all have severally and separately incubated in the corners of our own mental digestions over time.
Hope you find some joyful pre-season merriment, a smile, or a mirk – somewhere amidst the group of ten.
