"I could see them thinking, 'This thing's over. You're gonna get lit up tomorrow night.' I didn't like Haywood (Sullivan), and I didn't like (John) Harrington, either. They were happy, and life couldn't be better for them, and they were about to break the Red Sox jinx. They're giggling away, and I'm thinking, 'We'll see, you fucking douche bags. We'll fucking see.'" - Bob Ojeda in The Bad Guys Won! (Jeff Perlman, 2004) |

Fred Schwed, Jr., in How to Watch a Baseball Game (1957) wrote our favorite baseball box score quote, "The baseball box score is the pithiest form of written communication in America today. It is abbreviated history. It is two or three hours (the box score even gives that item to the minute) of complex activity, virtually inscribed on the head of a pin, yet no knowing reader suffers from eyestrain."
