Tom Moore: "Bill Whitehouse from Frederick, Maryland wants to know why you and the Orioles don't go out and get some more team speed?"
Earl Weaver: "Team speed for chrissakes, you get fuckin' goddam little fleas on the fuckin' bases, getting picked off, tryin' to steal, gettin' thrown out, takin' runs away from you, get them big cocksuckers that can hit the fuckin' ball out the ballpark and ya can't make any goddam mistakes."
