| Bobby Knight told me this: 'There is nothing that a good defense cannot beat a better offense.' In other words a good offense wins. |
| Basketball is like war in that offensive weapons are developed first, and it always takes a while for the defense to catch up. |
| Baseball players are smarter than football players. How often do you see a baseball team penalized for too many men on the field? |
| Baseball life is a tough life on the family. |
| Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer. |
| Baseball is drama with an endless run and an ever-changing cast. |
| Baseball is almost the only orderly thing in a very unorderly world. If you get three strikes, even the best lawyer in the world can't get you off. |
| As athletes, we're used to reacting quickly. Here, it's 'come, stop, come, stop.' There's a lot of downtime. That's the toughest part of the day. |
| Approach the game with no preset agendas and you'll probably come away surprised at your overall efforts. |
| Any time Detroit scores more than 100 points and holds the other team below 100 points they almost always win. |
