Yogi Berra could have a book of these.
The ones mentioned in the part about Yogi in the Ken Burns Baseball doc still make me chuckle.
Team exec’s wife: “you look cool in your new suit, Yogi”
Yogi: “thanks, you don’t look so hot yourself.”

When Nick Van Exel said the Trailblazers thought the Dallas Mavs were a bunch of soft, white boys. It was during a 2002 playoff series that Dallas won.
"That's really how they feel about us: We're a bunch of soft, white boys and can't get it done..."

Leach;
You can’t really talk about great sports movies, though, without mentioning Talladega Nights, that Ricky Bobby one. That movie is off-the-charts funny — and after getting to know some NASCAR guys over the years, I realize that it isn’t just a straight comedy. It’s part documentary. I know people who do stuff like name one of their kids Walker and the other Texas Ranger. If you go to any elementary school classroom in Texas, some kids in there are going to be named either Austin, Dallas, or Houston. That’s basically the same thing. I wouldn’t do that, or at least I’d try to get more creative with it. Name your kid Amarillo or Carrizo Springs. You know what, I’m going to move back to Texas, have another kid, and name him Fort Stockton.

We pound on Kansas State, so A&M looks at the film all week. [My players] strut around and laugh, you know, ho-ho-ho, ha-ha-ha, and [my players] listen to their Fat Little Ol’ Girlfriends, and pretty soon, what happens in Manhattan happens [to us].
Well, the first thing we do is we go in our meeting and we talk about we're going to respect everyone; we're going to fear no one. We're not going to compare scores, and we're not going to listen to our Fat Little Girlfriends.

Can't believe there haven't been more examples of Stengelese.
"People talk about all the money I've made. But they never talk about all the money I've lost."
"Every manager wants to throw himself off a bridge sooner or later, and it's very nice for an old man to know he doesn't have to walk fifty miles to find one."
-Casey Stengel on the proximity of the Bay Bridge to the Oaks' stadium
"Look at that guy. He can't hit, he can't run, and he can't throw. Of course, that's why they gave him to us."
-Casey Stengel, on a player obtained by the Mets in the expansion draft
“Don’t cut my throat, I may want to do that later myself.”
“I feel greatly honored to have a ballpark named after me, especially since I’ve been thrown out of so many.”
“I got players what got bad watches; they can’t tell midnight from noon.”
—On curfews
“Left-handers have more enthusiasm for life. They sleep on the wrong side of the bed and their head gets more stagnant on that side.”
"Good pitching will always stop good hitting and vice-versa."
My favorite from a Yankee of that time is this supposed quip from Yogi...
A teacher supposedly asked the young Lawrence Peter Berra, “Don't you know anything?” To which Berra supposedly replied, “Ma'am, I don't even suspect anything.”

Bill Russell was announcing an NBA game that was in its waning seconds. His partner says, "Bill, there's not much sand left in the hourglass."
Bill replied, "Not only that, there's not much time left in this game."
