    “In the great department store of life, baseball is the toy department.”
    —Los Angeles Sportscaster. quoted in Independent Magazine (London, Sept. 28, 1991)

    “Since the beginning of time, three-quarters of the mental energy and of the lies inspired by vanity have been expended for their inferiors by people who are only abased by such expenditure.
