They Said It

? Ron Perranoski, Dodger reliever, on what it would take for his injury-ridden club to pull out the National League pennant: "A fife, a drum and a flag."

?Dan Osinski, Milwaukee pitcher, when a waitress asked if he wanted his pizza cut into six or eight pieces: "Better make it six. I can't eat eight."

?Barry McKnight, University of Pittsburgh fullback, describing the thrill of delivering a crunching block: "Sometimes I remain on the ground and look at the guy I blocked. It's the same as shining your own shoes: you keep looking at them."
