I used to soak my mitts in a bucket of water for about two days. Then I'd put a couple of baseballs in the pocket and wrap it up with a rubber band. Today you don't have to do that, because catchers' mitts are more like first baseman's gloves. ↗

I swim all the time at night - I've always been a water girl. It's a black-bottom pool and my pool light was out, and as I've done a thousand times I just kind of did a little seal dive. I saw a huge bright light and I literally thought, 'That's it.' ↗

I contend that, in spite of all that might be said about Watergate, Richard Nixon was good for the poor people of America. ↗

The work an unknown good man has done is like a vein of water flowing hidden underground, secretly making the ground green. ↗
