“There have been those on the other side of the aisle who, from time to time, have spoken of the lack of generosity, of the stinginess, and of the coldheartedness of the Republicans, but the seventh inning last night should put that to rest forever.

Every man of the Republican nine made some effort in generosity of spirit to drop balls, to misplace throws, or to go out of their way to make sure that, at least on the diamond, the Democrats would feel good. Now, we don't want this to go to your head, though, Mr. Doyle. That trophy is on loan. If you would look wherever the records are kept, if you win the next 20 in a row, there would still be more 'R' wins than 'D' wins.”
