"The biggest challenge in a simul is finding the right shoes! I want to look good in front of fifty people, but really sneakers are the best bet. I try to finish a simul as quickly as possible and don’t worry if I lose a game or two along the way. It becomes a manic workout. I’m literally running around playing moves as fast as my fingers and legs will go. My brain usually follows. The simul is a great chess illusion. It makes the simul-giver seem like a genius, when really they’re just speaking their language. Chessplayers rely so heavily on instincts developed from years of training and practice. Chess is not all about thinking, there’s a lot of feeling involved."

"So rare, You're like the sparkle of old champagne; Orchids in cellophane Couldn't compare to you."

"There isn't enough mustard in America to cover Reggie Jackson."

"No wonder you're all mixed up. You got a white man's first name, a Spanish man's second name, and a black man's third name."

"As he was going around [the bases], I was applauding into my glove. [...] I have never seen anything like that in a championship game situation. He beat us singlehandedly.

But he didn't stay there long enough for conversation."

"Every hitter likes fastballs just like everybody likes ice cream. But you don't like it when someone's stuffing it into you by the gallon. That's how you feel when 's throwing balls by you. You just hope to mix in a walk so you can have a good night and only go 0-for-3."
