The Stratton Story

Monty Stratton:
Look at that road! I used to do ten miles on that road like it was nothin' - just to pitch a game! Now I can hardly reach it, let alone walk on it!

Ethel Stratton:
You told me once, "A man has to know where he's goin'!" Where are you goin', Monte?

Monty Stratton:
[after accidentally shooting himself in the leg] I shot the wrong rabbit!

Monty Stratton:
Honey, do you know there's a tailor in Chicago that gives a suit of clothes away to any ballplayer that hits the scoreboard in center field? As of yesterday the New York Yankees are the best dressed team in baseball.

Monty Stratton:
Nah, I'm through gambling. Well, I found out what it's like to lose, and what it's like to win. Why keep at it?

Monty Stratton:
Boy, I took so many dancing lessons through the season, it's a wonder I've even got strength enough to pitch.
