Dick Stuart: Frases em inglês

“Every home run gives me the deepest personal thrill, although I've hit droves. Last year at Lincoln I hit 66, yet it gave me the deepest personal thrill every time I seen that ball flying nine miles out of the park.”

Dick Stuart

As quoted in "The Man Who Hit Too Many Home Runs" https://books.google.com/books?id=UD8EAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA85&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjm9ZTw6JXQAhVH1CYKHazgBPcQ6AEIFDAA#v=onepage&q=%22Every%20home%20run%22&f=false by Mark Harris, in Life (September 2, 1957), p. 86

“There must be the best 169-pound slugger in baseball.”

Dick Stuart

On Roberto Clemente; as quoted in "Clemente’s Clouting Keeps Corsairs Hot on Trail of Treasure" by Les Biederman, in The Sporting News (May 31, 1961)

“I guess that makes you the manager of nothing.”

Dick Stuart

Circa summer 1958, in response to manager Danny Murtaugh's question, "Now who am I?", posed immediately after having informed Stuart that he, Murtaugh, should be addressed strictly as "Mr. Murtaugh," and that he, Stuart, was "nothing'; as quoted by Murtaugh in "Gazette Sports: Stuart Still in Public Eye" https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/410446368/ by Roy Anderson, in The Billings Gazette (July 1, 1961)

“I was gonna hit one. Can I help it if Maz got cute?”

Dick Stuart

From a telegram explaining why he hadn't delivered on his promise of a World Series home run; as quoted in "Big Stu Breaks Promise But It's Maz' Fault" https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=QNpaAAAAIBAJ&sjid=uWwDAAAAIBAJ&pg=2921%2C3949654 by The Associated Press, in The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (Friday, October 14, 1960), p. 14

“That was when I started telling Polish jokes. Actually, Maz robbed me. If I had hit that home run, I would have made a lot more out of it than Maz did. He never made much effort to capitalize on it. Can you imagine what that homer would be worth in endorsements today?”

Dick Stuart

On the walk-off home run—hit with pinch hitter Stuart on-deck—that ended the 1960 World Series; as quoted in "A Sad Story: Dick Stuart's Bat Was Solid; So Was His Glove"

“It Was Hank Aaron who hung that Dr. Strangeglove tag on me. I told him, to his face, that he would never amount to anything.”
