Fact
- I remember going to New York early that year (1941), and why they didn't pull the shift on me that day I'll never know. Marius Russo was pitching, a left-hander with a sidearm fastball that sank. He was good in the Stadium because right-handers couldn't get the ball in the air off him. - Ted Williams, excerpt of his book My Turn at Bat - The Story of My Life, 1988.

Famous quotes containing the word fact:
“It may be tempting to focus on the fact that, even among those who support equality, men’s involvement as fathers remains a far distance from what most women want and most children need. Yet it is also important to acknowledge how far and how fast many men have moved towards a pattern that not long ago virtually all men considered anathema.”
—Katherine Gerson (20th century)
“Above all, though, children are linked to adults by the simple fact that they are in process of turning into them. For this they may be forgiven much. Children are bound to be inferior to adults, or there is no incentive to grow up.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“While moral rules may be propounded by authority the fact that these were so propounded would not validate them.”
—A.J. (Alfred Jules)
