Cedric Maxwell on Pistol Pete Maravich and a rookie named Larry Bird:
“We come to a timeout and Pete says ‘Larry, they’re double-teaming you. You can’t force up those kind of shots.’
Larry looks up and goes ‘If you were any damn good, they wouldn’t be double-teaming me.'”
@JDoskow I failed at my restaurant jobs as well, they're so hard. But it taught me one hell of a lesson,—treat those folks well, and if their having a bad day treat them better—go A's🇺🇸
Bobby cox sent Leo Mazzone to the mound so he could tell Greg Maddux to walk Luis Gonzalez. Mad Dog refused to do it, told Leo give me two pitches and I’ll make him pop up to 3b. Two pitches later, pop up to chipper jones at 3rd. Unbelievable story from “one of a kind”
