They Said It

? Alan Eagleson, executive director of the NHL Players' Association, discussing the lack of parity in the expanded NHL: "The only thing tougher than getting four tickets for a Montreal-Boston game is getting rid of four tickets for a Montreal- Oakland game."

? Vin Scully, Los Angeles Dodger broadcaster, watching Bob Gibson of the St. Louis Cardinals whipping through the Dodger lineup in a game that took less than two hours to play: "Gibson pitches as though he's double-parked."

? George Scott, former Boston Red Sox slugger traded to Milwaukee, on walking in from third base after hitting a home run on his first visit to Fenway Park since the trade: "I wanted to walk in because one of my fans might have gone out to get a Coke, and he would have missed it. I wish it could have took two days."

? John Havlicek, on why the Ralston Cereal Company wants him for commercials: "Then they'd have Wheat-Chex, Corn-Chex, Rice-Chex and Havli-Chex."
