“He slides into second with a stand up double.”
Jerry Coleman
“[The zoo offers the tactile experience of sliding a bow across the strings of a fiddle, plucking a stand-up bass, pounding a drum, strumming a guitar or blowing into a trumpet.] I think of it as a mini museum, ... We have some basic knowledge of all the instruments. My main instrument is the mountain dulcimer, but we'll have a banjo, fiddle, mandolin, guitars, dulcimers and a washtub and stand-up bass. There will be a wind instrument area and lots of percussion instruments, including a limberjack. That's a board with a dancing man you bounce in time to the music.”
Connie Allen
“Everybody deserves a second chance and we're here to provide that. That doesn't mean we're going to let things slide, either.”
Walt Jocketty
“I know [Rivera's] leg kick is a 1.4 or a 1.5 [seconds]. And when [he uses a slide step], it's a 1.0. I don't care how fast you are, [if the pitcher gets the ball to home in] 1.1, 1.0, you just shut it down because you are going to get thrown out no matter how big your lead is.”
Joey Gathright
“We kind of let it slide there in the second quarter. They were able to get a short lead but we were able to end the half with the lead.”
Mike Osborne
“The call that always seemed the toughest to me was the slide and tag play at second. You can see it coming, but you don't know which way the runner is going to slide, where the throw is going to be, and how the fielder is going to take the throw.”
Cal Hubbard
“You always say "I'll quit when I start to slide," and then one morning you wake up and realize you've done slid.”
Sugar Ray Robinson
