Quote from Coach in The Tortelli Tort
Norm: Hey, that Ed guy is not my favorite person. Coach: I think he's a big pansy making a big fuss over some intense pain. How many times did you play hurt, Sam? Sam: Now and then. Coach: I must've got hit by 100 fastballs. As a matter of fact, it became a specialty of mine. Diane: Wait. You specialized in getting hit? Coach: Yeah. Norm: Yeah, he led the league in HBPs two years in a row. Sam: Hit By Pitches. Coach: See, I perfected it when I was down with the St Louis Browns organization, Diane. I could get to first base on any pitch. I mean, what I'd do was, I'd get up there and lean my body into the pitch, all right? Well, sometimes I took one right in the old melon. Only, I really made a science out of it. I became a master.
