They Said It

?Mike Sadek, .132 batter for the Phoenix Giants of the Pacific Coast Baseball League before getting three solid hits in four at bats as 208 fans watched: "It was so quiet in the park, every time I came to bat I could hear the radio announcer giving my average. I was so embarrassed I decided to do something about it."

? Dave Wottle, professional trackman, noting the high cost of living during a recent trip to Japan: "We got $20 a day meal money and we could make out fairly well on that. There was a McDonald's hamburger stand close by."

?Dick Siebert, coach of Minnesota's Big Ten baseball co-champions: "The trouble with bed checks is you usually disturb your best players."

? Jack Burke, golf pro, after being told Arnold Palmer brought eight putters to the Colonial in Fort Worth: "That's a bagful of indecision."
