Doug Harvey Great Quotations

I was a great base umpire, but I was the most mediocre plate umpire to ever come into the major leagues.

I set out to be the best umpire of my time. But I don't know what it takes to be great.

My mom beat us until she started breaking clothes hangers. Wooden clothes hangers! Once we started laughing back at her, then your spankings were through. That's the way I was raised. So, I got to be about 13 years of age when finally she quit spanking on me. But I think that it was great way to be raised.
