DIZZY DEAN: TODAY'S HILARIOUS BASEBALL QUOTE OF THE DAY

2016-12-29T12:02:00.000-05:00

Today's Baseball Quote of the Day comes from one of the funniest players in baseball history, Jay 'Dizzy' Dean. He was not only funny but he was also a great pitcher. He spent most of his career with the Cardinals.

Among his credentials is the 1934 MVP, two time MLB wins leaders, four time National League Strikeout leader and induction into the Hall of Fame in 1953. He is also the last National League pitcher to win 30 or more games.

He was also quite a celebrity post career with a movie made about his life and countless years as an announcer and commentator. So many lines to choose from for the Baseball Quote of the Day.

Due to his great career and post hilarious career, Dizzy Dean is the recipient of today's Baseball Quote of the Day. For more great Dean quotes go to www.baseballquotations.com

"I didn't do so great in the first grade either."
--Dizzy Dean, after dropping out of school after the second grade

FRANK THOMAS: TODAY'S BASEBALL QUOTE OF THE DAY

2016-12-27T15:02:00.000-05:00

With the coming of the New Year, we have a new feature for List Man, the Baseball Quote of the Day. Sometimes funny, sometimes insulting, sometimes testimonials to greatness.

Today is a testimonial to greatness. Frank Thomas is a Hall of Famer who played most of his career for the White Sox. He played with them from 1990--2005 before playing for the Blue Jays and the A's. The Big Hurt was a five time all-star, American League MVP in 1993 and 1994, and led the league in batting in 1997 with a .347 average. His Number 35 was retired by the White Sox and he was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2014.

Though probably his greatest honor is being the December 27th 2016 recipient of the Baseball Quote of the Day. Congratulations.

"Frank was the guy you didn't want to beat you. He had power, average, a good strike zone---could hit to all fields. You couldn't defend him."
--Tony LaRussa, on Frank Thomas

List of the Greatest 200 Songs of All-Time

2016-12-04T22:55:00.000-05:00

I have created a new blog dedicated to my list of The Top 200 Songs of All-Time. The list is funny, fresh and cool (actually none of the above), but it is totally based on my opinion as a person with no expertise, just a love of music.

My musical tastes are so eclectic that you might get an AC/DC song next to a Dolly Parton song, so check out the new blog and let me know what you think

Top Ten Greatest Baseball Insults

2016-11-20T23:15:00.000-05:00

There have been hundreds of hilarious baseball insults over the years. You could do a whole book just on the insults of Casey Stengel.

In honor of Kate Upton's recent insult to Major League Baseball for not selecting her fiance Justin Verlander as the American League, Cy Young Award winner, we have decided to compile ten all-time great baseball insults.

In no particular order, here are ten great baseball insults

"Marv Thronberrry never made the same mistake twice. He made different ones."
--Ralph Kiner

"Son, we'd like to keep you around this season but we're going to try to win a pennant."
--Casey Stengel, on sending Aubrey Gatewood to the Minors

"You know you're in trouble when you say, 'Good Catch', and it's the catcher you're talking about."
--Hank Greenwald, after Giants catcher Mark Salas had four passed balls in a game

"First I found it hard to catch him. Then I found it hard to hit him. And finally I found it hard to manage him."
--Joe Torre, on Phil Niekro

"Could be he's a nice guy when you get to know him, but why bother."
--Dizzy Dean, on Bill Terry

"The game is becoming a freak show because of the nerds who are running it."
--Rich 'Goose' Gossage, said in 2015

"I hope he doesn't think it means him."
--Danny Murtuagh, talking about his bad fielding first baseman Dick Stuart, after the public address announcer said that anyone who interferes with the ball in play will be ejected

"First I pray to God that nobody hits the balk to me. Then I pray that nobody hits it to Steve Sax."
--Pedro Guerrero, on fellow Dodger infielder Steve Sax

"If you hit Luis Polonia 100 fly balls, you could make a movie out of it--Catch 22."
--Dennis Lamp, on the bad fielding of Polonia

"I just hope there are a lot of guys who are not back next year. You get tired of looking at the garbage in your back yard."
--Lee Elia, on Managing a lousy Cubs team

Possibly The Worst Duet of All-Time

2016-08-09T23:17:00.001-04:00

Proving that even the greatest can make a mistake, the legendary Stevie Wonder sang one of the worst duets of all-time with a singer known as Charlene. Fans of one hit wonders will recognize Charlene for that awful 80's song, "I've Never Been To Me" with lyrics like "I've moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo"

Well, unfortunately, the duet between Stevie Wonder and Charlene made the lyrics for I've Never Been To Me, Paul Simon like in comparison.

Don't believe me? Then listen to one of the worst songs you will ever here, "Used to Be" Let me know after you hear the lyrics if this is not one of the worst songs of all-time, proving that even the great ones can have a bad day.

2016-06-05T12:59:00.000-04:00

Five Greatest Three Dog Night Songs

2015-10-24T22:55:00.001-04:00

Despite all the many hits of Three Dog Night, including the colossal hit Joy to the World, people rarely talk about them in the circles of great bands. I don't get it. Their music stacks up to anyone from their era with the exception of some of the legendary groups. This has all recently come to the forefront through the tragic death of band member Cory Wells earlier this week. Very sad to hear that. In tribute to Wells and one of the all-time underrated bands, here is my list of the Top Five Three Dog Night Songs. Rest assured One is not on the list. As tough as it was for me, Joy to the World and Black and White did not make it either.

5) Easy to be Hard

4) Old Fashioned Love Song

3) Eli's Coming

2) Family of Man

1) Out in the Country

Top Five Glen Campbell Songs

2014-02-07T23:05:00.001-05:00

Like most people, my musical tastes are incredibly eclectic. My top one hundred has Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Wonder, Guns and Roses, and Dionne Warwick songs all on the list. One of my all-time favorite underrated artists is Glen Campbell.

Can't believe that he is 77 years old--seems like just yesterday I saw him in True Grit. These five songs are all great, but the first two really are among my all-time favorite songs. When I was a kid, Wichita Lineman was one of those songs we made fun of. No more. Over the last twenty years, I have found it to be one of the most catchy of all songs and clearly has a significant place on my top all-time one hundred songs (I'm sure that means a lot to Glen Campbell) as does Galveston.

Here is my list of my top favorite Glen Campbell Songs

5) Gentle on My Mind

4) By The Time I Get to Phoenix

3) True Grit Theme Song

2) Galveston

1) Wichita Lineman

Please share your all-time favorite Glen Campbell song

Great Ralph Kiner Quotes

2014-02-07T22:48:00.000-05:00

List of Top World Series Quotes

2013-02-23T17:27:00.001-05:00

Great World Series Quotes

So the natural question would be why am I writing a blog about great World Series quotes in February. The answer is simple. As a Mets fan, every year I think we will be in the World Series come October. Virtually every year my dreams are over by early August. As a fan, you have to have faith in your team. I think Ike Davis, Lucas Duda and David Wright will hit over one hundred home runs, I think Johan will pitch like five years ago, Brendan Lyons and Bobby Parnell will be our bullpen aces and Zack Wheeler will be ROY and Cy Young Award winner. Hey it's February. To celebrate my February Mets dream, here are some all-time great quotes about the World Series.

--Johnny Pesky, after Red Sox won 2004 World Series

"We made too many wrong mistakes."

"The only reason I don't like playing in the World Series is I can't watch myself play."

"Lets go out on the ball field and hope we all don't get killed."
--Donnie Bush, Manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates who were playing the 1927 'Murderer's Row' Yankees

Top Ten Funniest Movie Scenes of All-Time

2013-02-02T17:50:00.001-05:00

There are so many all-time funny movies. Many of these movies have that great laugh out loud scene that make you convulse in laughter. At List Man, we have put together our top ten list of funniest movie scenes.

Today, we are posting Number 10. The timing is perfect for sending out our first one today because it is Ground Hog's Day. This hilarious movie is Bill Murray at his best, but the scene stealer is Stephen Tobolowsky as insurance salesman, Ned Ryerson. Tobolowsky is one of those familiar faces you often see on TV and movies. He has appeared in numerous movies and TV shows. Among his most famous roles are Sandy Ryerson (seem to love that name) in Glee and Stu in Californication. Outside of Ground Hog day, he is at his funniest as Jeff's conservative brother in law in Curb Your Enthusiasm.

He is at his best as Ned Ryerson though. He has it down perfectly and provides us with such classic lines when he confronts Bill Murray, 'You remember me, I was Needle Nose Ned", 'You remember I got shingles in high school and almost didn't graduate', 'I dated your sister Mary Pat until you told me not to' All of those quotes ending with him yelling out Bam. Of course, his classic line is 'Watch out for that first step, it's a doozy."

The way Murray and Tobolowsky play off each other is hysterical. When Ryerson hits Murray's stomach the first time they see each other and his right, right, right comments are about as funny as it gets. You also have to love when Ryerson asks him if he wants to go to dinner, Murray replies, 'No Chance.' They have to be laughing as they are doing that scene. Though my favorite scene is that first time they see each other, the evolution over time is almost as funny based on the different ways Murray approaches poor Ned.

Here is a great you tube piece on their interactions. Funny Movie Scene Number 9 coming soon. Bam!

Steely Dan's All Time Greatest Song

2012-08-01T22:58:00.000-04:00

With over thirty million records sold, Steely Dan is one of the greatest groups of all-time. Hard to believe they were the genius of two guys---Walter Becker and Donald Fagan. Did you know when they first started they were part of Jay and the Americans?

Their string of hits is enormous and includes some of my all-time favorites including Deacon Blues, My Old School, Katy Lied, Rikki Don't Lose that Number among others. My favorite song of Steely Dan's is Number 65 of my all-time Top 100 Songs. To check out what the song is and some interesting history about the song, go to http://top100songsofall-time.blogspot.com/

Top Five Annie Hall Quotes

2012-05-26T07:58:00.000-04:00

As you know from the title of this blog, I love lists of any kind. If I posted by list of five all-time favorites movies (which I will at some point), Annie Hall would be on that list. This was Woody Allen at his best (as he was with Bananas and Love and Death as well). The lines that have come from Annie Hall are among the greatest of all-time. The greatest difficulty I had was breaking it down to five. For those keeping score at home, if I was to have six quotes from the Movie, Number Six would have been, "I was thrown out of college for cheating on my metaphysics exam. I looked into the soul of the boy sitting next to me."

I've got to say that the winner of the Number 1 quotes is something that has stayed with me for the last thirty five years. That entire scene would make my top five all-time favorite movies scenes (a list for another day). In the meantime, for all you Alvy Singer fans out there, here are my top five all-time favorite Annie Hall Quotes.

5) "Maybe if I put a little dish of butter sauce with a nutcracker, it will run out the other side." This is the famous lobster scene when Alvy and Annie went away for a weekend retreat.

4) "I hope to become the bald virile type you know, as opposed to say, distinguished and gray. Unless I'm neither of these two. Unless I'm one of those guys with saliva dripping out of his mouth who wonders into a cafeteria with a shopping bag screaming about socialism."--One of the most underrated parts of this movie was the interplay between Woody Allen and Tony Roberts.

3) "Joey Nichols. Joey Nichols. Always remember my name, think of Joey 5 cents."
What made this line so funny was not only young Alvy's retort, but because all of us could relate to the overbearing, obnoxious older relative who thought they were incredibly funny to children.

2) "You're on Johnny Carson right? What's your name? This is Alvy Singer, This guy's on television. This guy's on the Johnny Carson show."
One of the all-time hilarious movie scenes when these two guys see Alvy waiting at the movies for Annie. If there was an Academy Award for best one minute appearance in a movies, these two guys would win it (actually I would give it to the first guy, he had a larger role. His buddy came in late to the scene) When the one guys starts pointing and jumping up and down (I'm laughing as I am writing this), it is about as funny as it gets. Then of course it ends when he asks Alvy for an autograph and the guy says, 'it's for my sister. Make it out to Ralph."

1) "I heard what you were saying. You know nothing of my work: You mean my whole fallacy is wrong. How you got to teach a course in anything is totally amazing." This all-time great quote is provided by Marshall McLuhan who magically appears after Alvy and Annie were waiting on line at the New Yorker in front of this obnoxious guy who was talking to his date about the class he taught at Columbia about Media.

This is all-time most enduring movie quote in my life. In my future list of all-time least favorite people. the top of my list would be populated by pseduo-intellectuals. I think that might have to do with all the years I was involved in political science. It seems that it was a breeding ground for pseduo intellectuals especially all those political theory courses I took back in the day. Since I was in school during the era of Annie Hall, I would often fantasize that Socrates or John Locke would come from behind the door and start lecturing the pseudo intellectual sitting in front of me who was babbling on incessantly about Locke and Socrates and how they related to modern geo-politics.

Please share your favorite Annie Hall moments. Also, if you love funny sports quotes then become a fan of sports quotation man at http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Sports-Quotation-Man/125672394170091

Number 73 Greatest All-Time Song: Games People Play

2012-05-20T23:00:00.000-04:00

Check out my list of the Top 100 Songs of all-time and the history of each of the songs. We are up to #73 from the Spinners, Games People Play (not to be confused with Joe South's Games People Play or Alan Parson's Games People Play).

Top Ten Greatest Basketball Players of All-Time

2012-05-19T21:57:00.000-04:00

Lots of great talent over the years in the NBA, but who is in the list of the Rolls Royce, the Godiva Chocolate and The Little Hot Dogs (the all-time greatest appetizer) of the NBA elite. There are a lot of great candidates but the field is limited to ten. There was some serious competition, but here is a list of some of the top runner ups first---Shaquille O'Neal, Moses Malone, Karl Malone, John Havlicek, Hakeem Olajuwon, LeBron James (has to win some titles), Bob Cousy, Julius Erving and Elgin Baylor .Bill Walton would have been there if he had good knees (best passing big man I ever saw). If there careers weren't stunted by outside issues, David Thompson and Connie Hawkins would be on the list. Too early on Kevin Durant and way way to early on Anthony Davis (who I think is destined for future greatness---real bold prediction there).

My list is based only on my observations and some statistical looks. It is hard for me to sum up the career of Bill Russell since his prime was before I really started watching basketball but I will anyway. Here is the list and please send me your comments. There is no special order to the list except for one and two. Also, I have to say that Tim Duncan is the most underrated basketball player of all-time with Kareem Jabbar second.

The list of the top ten greatest basketball players of all-time

Tim Duncan, Wilt Chamberlain (if he was a big money player, he would have been the greatest of all-time), Kobe Bryant, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Jerry West, Oscar Robertson

#2--Bill Russell--No player in sports history has had the championship pedegree that he had. I don't care if he didn't have Wilt stats, he had the rings like no one else ever had.

#1 Greatest Player of All-Time--Michael Jordan. I know I am getting to the age where this is a generation of kids who didn't see Michael Jordan play. There has never been a player as talented, clutch or as dedicated as Jordan. There should be no debate about the fact that he is the greatest of all-time (greatest owner of all-time may be up for debate).

Please share your list.

My Top Five Favorite Bee Gees Songs

2012-04-14T23:38:00.000-04:00

Very saddened to hear that Robin Gibbs is very sick. I always thought that the Bee Gees were one of the most under appreciated musical groups of all-time. It is incredible that these three brother could sound so good together. Think about the impact they have had on music over the last forty years. From early hits like Holiday, 1941 Mining Disaster and Gotta Get A Message to becoming the Kings of Disco. How many other groups have been able to dramatically change their sound with the kind of success that the Bee Gees had?

If you were around in the 70's and knew anything about disco than you had to be a fan of The Bee Gees. Even people I know who said they hated disco still some how had the Saturday Night Fever LP in their collection. They were a phenomenon throughout the disco era---Night Fever, Staying Alive, How Deep Is Your Love, More Than A Woman, Nights on Broadway, You Should be Dancing....Enough said. They were incredibly talented and have never truly gotten the recognition they deserve.

Here is my list of the Top Five Bee Gees Songs:

5) Stayin' Alive---Again, lets conjure up the disco era and think about songs that define that time. Stayin' Alive was one of those songs. You can't help but think of the opening scene of Saturday Night Fever when you hear this song. Great song. My friends and I would debate the lyrics of the song for days. It's not like today when you can get the lyrics on line. Back then, we interpreted as best we could. It was more fun that way.

4) You Should Be Dancing

Another one of those wonderfully upbeat disco songs from the late 70's. At first, I was like most of my friends and refused to listen to disco. After listening to the Bee Gees, Donna Summers. The Tramps and a few others, I converted.. How as a fan of music, can you not love a song like this. Even though the lyrics are unintelligible, the song is a lot of fun and serves its purpose by making you get up and want to start dancing.

3) More Than A Woman

This was another hit song from Saturday Night Fever. This is a testament to the inspired singing voices of the Gibbs brothers. They sound incredibly harmonious in the song (I also give credit to Taveres who also did a wonderful job on the song). This along with the next songs on the list and How Deep is Your Love, are the most moving of the Bee Gees disco era songs. 'We Can Take Forever Just a Minute at a Time.You Are More Than A Woman To Me'

2) Love You Inside and Out

I love everything about this song. Again, it is a credit to the incredible voices of the Bee Gees. The way they sing together on this song is magical. When they break into, 'You are the reason for my laughter and my sorrow. Blow out the candle, I will burn again tomorrow', it is virtually impossible to sound better then they do. It is one of those songs I have had on my ipod for years and never get tired of hearing. It is one of my few never skip songs. That is the ultimate testament to a great song in the IPOD era.

1) Night Fever

I don't want to give away any surprises on my top 100 songs of all-time blog except to say that this song is way up there. It is there for many reasons. As a fan of Saturday Night Fever, this song provided the most exciting moment of the movie--the most famous of John Travolta's dancing scenes.. In the early 70's, my friends and I thought we were the New York Knicks. By the mid 70's, we thought we were John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever (I had the Leisure suit and Hucapoo Shirt to prove it). There was no way that you could have been alive during this period and not heard this song. The magical beat and the great voices of the Gibbs Brothers make this up there with one of the greatest songs of all-time. On a personal note, this song has caused much embarrassment. At virtually every wedding or Bar Mitzvah I attend, I request this song and break out the same miserable disco moves I had in the 70's. Lucky to have an understanding wife.

Please share your favorite Bee Gee Songs.

Strange Magic--Number 76 on All Time Top 100

2012-04-08T06:36:00.000-04:00

The number 76 on my list of the All-Time Top 100 is Strange Magic by the Electric Light Orchestra. Always thought that ELO and Jeff Lynne were one of the all-time most underrated musical talents. Whenever you have such a unique sound that is able to break through to the mainstream (to the tune of over fifty million albums sold), you are clearly musical innovators.
