Lloyd Waner Quotations

I just loved to play. I liked to study the other ballplayers. I could talk about it for ages, because I played professional ball for 20 years, and I was still learning when I quit.

Our sister Alma was the best hitter in the family. We used to soak corn cobs in water so they wouldnt fly so far when we hit em. Alma was the first to hit one far enough to break a window in the barn.

When I played, a pitcher could throw at you any time he wanted to. In fact, he could tell you he was going to throw at you, and there was nothing said. You had to take it. If he hit ya, he hit ya.
