“Trying to sneak a fastball past Hank Aaron is like trying to sneak the sunrise past a rooster.”– Joe Adcock Related Quotes “I wanted to be a sportswriter because I loved sports and I could not hit the curve ball, the jump shot, or the opposing ball carrier.”– Dick Schaap “I started playing ball when I was a kid. My dad was a pro ball player and he passed on his knowledge to me.”– Kurt Russell “One reason outfielders don’t have stronger arms might be they don’t practice as much as we did.
