To make things easier, I probably should have made them multiple guess questions. Ah, something to remember for next time.

1) "I have a darn good job, but please don't ask me what I do."
Stan Musial, quoted in Sports Illustrated in June of 1988, about his job in the Cardinals Front Office.

2) "Left-hander, right-hander, soft thrower, power guy, fastballs away, fastballs in--he doesn't have any holes."
Tino Martinez, about teammate Albert Pujols.

3) "I set records that will never be equaled. In fact, I hope 90% of them don't even get printed."
Bob "Mr. Baseball" Uecker, on his own career.

4) "It was said that I threw basically, five pitches--fastball, slider, curve, change-up, and knockdown. I don't believe that assessment did me justice, though. I actually used about nine pitches--two different fastballs, two sliders, a curve, a change-up, knockdown, brushback, and hit batsman."
Bob Gibson, on his pitches.

5) "I was just helping the writers out. Them ain't lies, them's scoops."
Dizzy Dean, on the varying life stories he'd relate to different sportswriters.

6) [Describing a home-run ball he gave up that night.] "Fastball. Cock high."
Steve "Lefty" Carlton.

7) "When I came over here [the National League], I always heard it was a stronger league, with amphetamines all over the clubhouse, but all I found was Michelob Dry."
Dan Quisenberry, on moving from the Royals to the Cardinals.

8) "I've never even hit batting practice before a crowd that small at Busch." [1,519 on 4/18/1988]
Andy Van Slyke, comparing crowds in St. Louis and Pittsburgh.

9) "It was a beautiful thing to observe, with all 36 oars working in unison."
Jack Buck, describing George Steinbrenner's new yacht, 1981.

10) "I hope to live long enough to spend the rest of my life here."
Mike "Good field, no hit" Gonzalez, at a dinner in St. Louis in 1942.

11) "Less than a foot made the difference between a hero and a bum."
Grover Cleveland Alexander, on the long foul ball Tony Lazzeri hit off him (had it remained fair, it would have been a grand slam that would have probably put the Yankees ahead for good) before he struck Lazzeri out to save the seventh and deciding game of the 1926 World Series (the Cardinals' first World Championship).

12) A twofer. Which one season Cardinal spoke thus of playing in St. Louis:

"St. Louis is baseball all american style. Not like Philly, not like New York, not like anywhere else. In St. Louis the fans care about the game. Here they talk strategy, the hit-and-run, the squeeze play, the defensive alignment; the fans didn't care about off-field controversies."

"If a horse won't eat it, I don't want to play on it."
