Waging WAR on Ignorance, Intolerance & Injustice!
“People ask me what I do in Winter when there’s no baseball. I’ll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for Spring.” — Rogers Hornsby
(This one has a very familiar ring to it. Maybe they’ve used it before in the Cryptoquote? WordPress does a pretty good job of linking similar posts, so I guess I’ll find out for sure after I post this. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“I don’t want to play golf. When I hit a ball, I want someone else to go chase it.” — Rogers Hornsby
(The numbers this guy put up were simply remarkable! Especially, when you consider such factors as; his first 5 years were under the old “dead ball era“, they also played 8 fewer games in his playing years – 154 then to 162 now – and in 1918 and 1919 they played shortened 140 game seasons due to WWI, plus he had a number of years – 12, or so – as a player/manger. Wearing two hats might come naturally to some, but there’s a reason why you don’t often hear of guys doing both, especially for 12 years!) — YUR
