None of the prospects in spring training look any good . . . The athletes today are smaller than they used to be . . . You can buy happiness, but not a pennant . . . Why aren't there more Latin players? . . . Baseball games are too short . . . Bring back Marge Schott . . . The XFL's exciting and classy . . . I love artificial turf . . . Baseball should be played at night . . . I miss the "Na Na, Hey Hey" song . . . There are too many Jewish ballplayers . . . Why go to a game when you can listen to it on the radio? . . . They should lower the basket to five feet . . . Whatever happened to pin boys? . . . I fall asleep before the end of most games . . . The players today are terribly underpaid . . . Bury me under second base at Wrigley Field. No, make it third base . . . That's all for now.
