They Said It

? Bill Veeck : "Baseball is the only game left for people. To play basketball now, you have to be 7-foot-6. To play football you have to be the same width."

?Rene Muth, of the Immaculata College women's basketball team, on changes in uniform styles: "The year we won our first national championship [1972] our uniforms were tunics with a blouse and a belt, and bloomers underneath a skirt. It looked like a maternity outfit. Some of the teams in the league offered to steal them so we wouldn't have to wear them."

? Johnny Miller , golfer: "Serenity is knowing that your worst shot is still going to be pretty good."
