Connie Mack quotes:

You're born with two strikes against you, so don't take a third one on your own.

Humanity is the keystone that holds nations and men together. When that collapses, the whole structure crumbles. This is as true of baseball teams as any other pursuit in life.

I guess more players lick themselves that are ever licked by an opposing team. The first thing any man has to know is how to handle himself.

The game has kept faith with the public, maintaining its old admission price for nearly thirty years while other forms of entertainment have doubled and tripled in price. And it will probably never change.

Connie entered the game when it was a game for roughnecks. He saw it become respectable, he lived to be a symbol of its integrity, and he enjoyed every minute of it.

He [Rube Waddell] had more stuff than any pitcher I ever saw.
