Hell, Lou (Gehrig) it took fifteen years to get you out of a game. Sometimes I'm out in fifteen minutes. ~ Lefty Gomez
Lefty quotes by Lefty Gomez
I was the worst hitter ever. I never even broke a bat until last year when I was backing out of the garage. ~ Lefty Gomez
Lefty quotes by Lefty Gomez
And I got to know Red Foley well. And I got to know Lefty really well, he was a great guy. ~ Mel Tillis
Lefty quotes by Mel Tillis
So, I'm a playwright. In Minneapolis. Which means that I find myself operating in a pretty lefty crowd, most of the time. And most of my energy goes towards arguing with that, and musing about how I really fucking can't stand Democrats. So I was startled to be reminded of a fact that I'd almost entirely forgotten: I really fucking can't stand Republicans. ~ Phillip Andrew Bennett Low
Lefty quotes by Phillip Andrew Bennett Low
George Orwell on lefty/liberalism :-
"the emotional shallowness of a left intelligentsia that lives in a world of ideas not reality, severed from the common culture of the country. ~ George Orwell
Lefty quotes by George Orwell
Lucien bent and searched through the scraps of paper at Loki's stone feet for the blood-kissed prayer Dante had placed among them. Finding it, he plucked it from the pile and straightened.
The fading essence of creawdwr blood magic tingled against his fingers. Unfolding the liquor store receipt, he read the words scrawled in Dante's lefty slant:
Watch over her, ma mère. S'il te plaît, keep her safe. Even from me.
Lucien reread the prayer until the words blurred. He closed his fingers around the receipt, the paper crinkling against his palm. He had no doubt who she was - Special Agent Heather Wallace.
Wounded, his child, yes. Damaged, yes. But Dante's heart was whole and in love, it seemed, with a mortal. Perhaps Heather Wallace could bind Dante and help keep his sanity from unraveling.
Insanity. The fate of an unbound creawdwr. ~ Adrian Phoenix
Lefty quotes by Adrian Phoenix
It is not a good idea, either, to attach material such as Krystal Flash or Flashabou, then trim all strands at one spot. This gives most of the reflectiveness at one location - where the strands were severed. Instead, clip off the strands at different lengths along the entire body - that way you'll see little sparkles of light throughout the pattern ~ Lefty Kreh
Lefty quotes by Lefty Kreh
I talked to the ball a lot of times in my career. I yelled, "Go foul. Go foul." ~ Lefty Gomez
Lefty quotes by Lefty Gomez
In East Bangor, Pennsylvania (population 800), there's a little diner named for the trolley that used to take people to the once-bustling steel town of Bethlehem. The proprietors have adorned the walls with photographs of other local things that are no more. There's one of the East Bangor band, a group of about twenty men and boys, in uniform, in front of a bandstand draped with bunting. There's also one of the Kaysers, a local baseball club, on the day of an exhibition ballgame against the Philadelphia Athletics. These were Connie Mack's A's, which team in those early 1930s featured Hall of Famers Jimmie Foxx, Mickey Cochrane, and Lefty Grove. How did a village of under a thousand people manage to have its own band? How did a cluster of slate-belt villages field a regular baseball club, apparently good enough to stay on the same field for nine innings with the Philadelphia Athletics? What ~ Anthony M. Esolen
Lefty quotes by Anthony M. Esolen
Quit now? They'll have to cut the uniform off me. I'm going out for another 300. They couldn't be any harder to get than the first 300. ~ Lefty Grove
Lefty quotes by Lefty Grove
Whereas my grandfather was getting used to a much more terrifying reality. Holding my hand to keep his balance, as trees and bushes made strange, sliding movements in his peripheral vision, Lefty was confronting the possibility that consciousness was a biological accident. Though he'd never been religious, he realized now that he'd always believed in the soul, in a force of personality that survived death. But as his mind continued to waver, to short-circuit, he finally arrived at the cold-eyed conclusion, so at odds with his youthful cheerfulness, that the brain was just an organ like any other and that when it failed he would be no more. ~ Jeffrey Eugenides
Lefty quotes by Jeffrey Eugenides
I'm down with the whole patron thing. Bring back the Medicis. Maybe, I'm not just a lefty, but a royalist. ~ Jill Sobule
Lefty quotes by Jill Sobule
You've got a little round ball and a little round bat and anything can happen. ~ Lefty Grove
Lefty quotes by Lefty Grove
Lefty and Desdemona's cousin, Sourmelina, had gone to America and was living now in a place called Detroit. Built ~ Jeffrey Eugenides
Lefty quotes by Jeffrey Eugenides
You're sexist. I'm so sick of liberal lefty men practicing sexual discrimination under the guise of protecting women against sexual discrimination. ~ Gillian Flynn
Lefty quotes by Gillian Flynn
He's in a rut. Gehringer goes two for five on opening day and stays that way all season. ~ Lefty Gomez
Lefty quotes by Lefty Gomez
I'm Dave, by the way," he repeated, flashing his best smile. "And you are - ?" The man looked up at him, dark eyes pondering over the meaning of a name. "Nawat. Means left-handed." David beamed. "Hey, that's cool. I'm a lefty, too." The man turned back to the fire. "I'm not." "Ah." All right, then. ~ E.E. Giorgi
Lefty quotes by E.E. Giorgi
Sometimes April worried that she'd been built without some fundamental piece that everyone else had that just let them deal. Even her mother, who got involved in every lefty cause she could, seemed to be able to shake it all off at the end of the day and enjoy life. But the evil in the world, everywhere you looked, was always on April's mind. ~ J. Courtney Sullivan
Lefty quotes by J. Courtney Sullivan
Only triple I ever got. ~ Lefty Gomez
Lefty quotes by Lefty Gomez
Facts are mere speed bumps on the road to lefty moral outrage. ~ Jonah Goldberg
Lefty quotes by Jonah Goldberg
Jimi, a red scarf around his head and wearing a white fringed and beaded leather shirt, looked almost like a mystical holy man in meditation. His eyes closed, his head back, he'd merged with his music, his Strat--played upside down since he's a lefty--his magic wand. Though he was surrounded by his band, he projected the feeling he was all alone.

...

Tom Law of the Hog Farm (on Jimi's rendition of the national anthem): I felt like he was the defining poet of the festival with that piece of music. It was like taking you right into the heart of the beast and nailing it. ~ Uwe Michael Lang
Lefty quotes by Uwe Michael Lang
Country artists, I met a lot of them when I was five, six years old. I had an uncle who was a country and western singer and I met Lefty Frizzell when I was five or six years old in those shows that would come through Toronto from Nashville. ~ Rick Danko
Lefty quotes by Rick Danko
I don't want to throw him nothing. Maybe he'll just get tired of waiting and leave. ~ Lefty Gomez
Lefty quotes by Lefty Gomez
Jimmy Foxx could hit me at midnight with the lights out. ~ Lefty Gomez
Lefty quotes by Lefty Gomez
If you teach your children nothing else, teach them the Golden Rule and righty-tighty, lefty-loosey. ~ Robert Breault
Lefty quotes by Robert Breault
I am a lefty, though I bat right-handed ... When I was a kid I pitched, played first, outfield and shortstop as well. Now it's mainly softball with some friends. ~ Josh Charles
Lefty quotes by Josh Charles
Lefty had seen Desdemona undress many times, but usually as no more than a shadow and never in moonlight. She had never curled onto her back like this, lifting her feet to take off her shoes. He watched and, as she pulled down her skirt and lifted her tunic, was struck by how different his sister looked, in moonlight, in a lifeboat. She glowed. She gave off white light. He blinked behind his hands. The moonlight kept rising; it covered his neck, it reached his eyes until he understood: Desdemona was wearing a corset. That was the other thing she'd brought along: the white cloth enfolding her silkworm eggs was nothing other than Desdemona's wedding corset. She thought she'd never wear it, but here it was. Brassiere cups pointed up at the canvas roof. Whalebone slats squeezed her waist. The corset's skirt dropped garters attached to nothing because my grandmother owned no stockings. In the lifeboat, the corset absorbed all available moonlight, with the odd result that Desdemona's face, head, and arms disappeared. She looked like Winged Victory, tumbled on her back, being carted off to a conqueror's museum. All that was missing was the wings. ~ Jeffrey Eugenides
Lefty quotes by Jeffrey Eugenides
In the sixties, for anybody to suggest that the government didn't have our best interests at heart and policemen sometimes killed people would have automatically made them a radical firebrand lefty. That's not the case anymore. ~ Alan Moore
Lefty quotes by Alan Moore
I am a bit of a lefty on some issues. ~ Vince Cable
Lefty quotes by Vince Cable
I'm something like the old soak who never knew whether his wife told him to take one drink and come home at 12, or take 12 and come home at one. ~ Lefty Gomez
Lefty quotes by Lefty Gomez
I want to thank all my teammates who scored so many runs and Joe DiMaggio, who ran down so many of my mistakes. ~ Lefty Gomez
Lefty quotes by Lefty Gomez
One rule I had was make your best pitch and back up third base. That relay might get away and you've got another shot at him. ~ Lefty Gomez
Lefty quotes by Lefty Gomez
You just can't imagine the kind of guy he was without seeing him play. He was a circus, a play, a movie, all rolled into one. ~ Lefty Gomez
Lefty quotes by Lefty Gomez
Have you gone crazy, Lefty?" "No. On the contrary, I have become educated." "Sometimes that's worse, these days. ~ Thomas Sowell
Lefty quotes by Thomas Sowell
Allowing the fly to sink to the fish's level, the angler makes a retrieve. The fly comes directly at the fish, which suddenly sees its approach. As the small fly get nearer, the fish moves forward to strike, but the tiny fly doesn't flee at the sight of the predator. Instead it continues to come directly toward the fish. Suddenly the fish realizes intuitively that something is wrong(its never happened before), so it flees until it can assess the situation. An opportunity for the angler has been lost. ~ Lefty Kreh
Lefty quotes by Lefty Kreh
I knew most of my radio listeners were lefty political people, and I decided definitively not to be that guy - not to address politics. ~ Marc Maron
Lefty quotes by Marc Maron
I never had a bad night in my life, but I've had a few bad mornings. ~ Lefty Gomez
Lefty quotes by Lefty Gomez
There's more B.S. in fly fishing than there is in a Kansas feedlot. ~ Lefty Kreh
Lefty quotes by Lefty Kreh
I couldn't speak enough Spanish. I couldn't make myself understood on that club. ~ Lefty Gomez
Lefty quotes by Lefty Gomez
I'm the guy that made Joe DiMaggio famous. ~ Lefty Gomez
Lefty quotes by Lefty Gomez
I've taken it from feminist friends, and I've taken it from lefty friends too. But that reassures me. If the right is attacking us and the left is attacking us, that's exactly where we want to be. ~ Abigail Disney
Lefty quotes by Abigail Disney
If you don't throw it, they can't hit it. ~ Lefty Gomez
Lefty quotes by Lefty Gomez
Lefty Grove could throw a lamb chop past a wolf. ~ Arthur Baer
Lefty quotes by Arthur Baer
A lot of things run through your head when you're going in to relieve in a tight spot. One of them was, "Should I spike myself?" ~ Lefty Gomez
Lefty quotes by Lefty Gomez
Ree sat chilled inside her squat tent. To occupy her mind, she decided to name all the Miltons: Thump, Blond, Catfish, Spider, Whoop, Rooster, Scrap ... Lefty, Dog, Punch, Pinkeye, Momsy ... Cotton, Hog-jaw, Ten Penny, Peashot ... ~ Daniel Woodrell
Lefty quotes by Daniel Woodrell
Lefty, who'd been observing all the ways Greece had been handed down to America, arrived now at where the transmission stopped. In other words: the future. He stepped off to meet it. Desdemona, having no alternative, followed. ~ Jeffrey Eugenides
Lefty quotes by Jeffrey Eugenides
I taught myself how to play when I was about 13. I'm a lefty. ~ Jules Shear
Lefty quotes by Jules Shear
My dad taught me to switch-hit. He and my grandfather, who was left-handed, pitched to me every day after school in the back yard. I batted lefty against my dad and righty against my granddad. ~ Mickey Mantle
Lefty quotes by Mickey Mantle
I always ask my dad, 'Why wasn't I a lefty?' Even when I was younger I wanted to be lefty. I could have been really good. ~ Serena Williams
Lefty quotes by Serena Williams
No one hit home runs the way Babe did. They were something special. They were like homing pigeons. The ball would leave the bat, pause briefly, suddenly gain its bearings, then take off for the stands. ~ Lefty Gomez
Lefty quotes by Lefty Gomez
I had been having trouble with my eyes. One day my glasses fogged up while I was pitching, but when I cleaned them and looked at the plate and saw Foxx clearly, it frightened me so much I never wore them again. ~ Lefty Gomez
Lefty quotes by Lefty Gomez
Or in my grandparents's case, the circling worked like this: as they paced around the deck the first time, Lefty and Desdemona were still brother and sister. The second time, the were bride and bridegroom. And the third, they were husband and wife. ~ Jeffrey Eugenides
Lefty quotes by Jeffrey Eugenides
She stabbed Redford in the back with lefty scissors! ~ Wes Anderson
Lefty quotes by Wes Anderson
It's better to be lucky than good. ~ Lefty Gomez
Lefty quotes by Lefty Gomez
I personally feel that parachute files give a more realistic impression of an insect to the fish that views the fly, since the hackles are in the same position as the insect's legs, and when tied with brightly colored hackles, these flies are easier to see on the float. A final advantage is that in rough water, a parachute-hackled dry fly will float longer and better than a conventional one ~ Lefty Kreh
Lefty quotes by Lefty Kreh
When Neil Armstrong first set foot on the moon, he and all the space scientists were puzzled by an unidentifiable white object. I knew immediately what it was. That was a home run ball hit off me in 1933 by Jimmie Foxx. ~ Lefty Gomez
Lefty quotes by Lefty Gomez
Most fishermen use the double haul to throw their casting mistakes further. ~ Lefty Kreh
Lefty quotes by Lefty Kreh
I'd rather not throw the ball at all. ~ Lefty Gomez
Lefty quotes by Lefty Gomez
I was never nervous when I had the ball, but when I let go I was scared to death. ~ Lefty Gomez
Lefty quotes by Lefty Gomez
I'd rather be lucky than good.' [Baseball player] Lefty Gomez said that, and I live and breathe that fortune-dwelling, fuzzy-dice-dangling creed. I was fantastically lucky to be taken in by Montag Press and its extraordinary managing editor, Charlie Franco. But I'm also a bit of a research freak and I'm convinced that homework helped me set up a situation where luck could flash and ignite. I spent an inordinate amount of time researching small and independent imprints. Here I reveal the flip side of thinking that any hours spent researching literary agents is wasted (in my unwashed opinion) while time spent reading and learning about quality independent publishers is essential. It's the best and only way to identify the little houses in that vibrant village that might be just right for your own book. (Interview with Ruuf Wangersen on sevencircumstances.com) ~ Ruuf Wangersen
Lefty quotes by Ruuf Wangersen
There is nothing like Ruth ever existed in this game of baseball. I remember we were playing the White Sox in Boston in 1919, and he hit a home run off Lefty Williams over the left-field fence in the ninth inning and won the game. It was majestic. It soared. ~ Waite Hoyt
Lefty quotes by Waite Hoyt
I don't know. I've never been on second before. ~ Lefty Gomez
Lefty quotes by Lefty Gomez
One of these was Harry Hay, a young actor and communist who had been performing in Clifford Odets' play on unionization, Waiting for Lefty, at the Hollywood Guild Theatre. Hay would later become father of the gay rights movement in America, but he was hired to play the organ for the OTO's Gnostic Mass, having been drawn to the temple through his friendship with Regina Kahl. ~ George Pendle
