Title: Questionable quotes
Posted By: Jim Romenesko
 
From LEON FREILICH: Subject -- Gay Talese: Believe only the sports section.

"I hit 'em where they ain't." And "Baseball is 90 percent mental; the other half is physical."

To believe that athletes uttered
Such mots beyond compare
Is to be convinced that wrestling
Is wholly on the square.
