? Bill Mazeroski, Pittsburgh Pirate second baseman, playing third base for the first time in his 16-year career: "It's like learning to write with your left hand."

?Peaches Bartkowicz, pro tennis player, asked how she likes the tie-breaker scoring system now in use: "I don't know; I never get that far."
