Today you can still walk onto the diamond that remains from League Park, and stand where Bill Wamby made the putouts. You can also stand at home plate where DiMaggio got the final hit in his streak, which ended the next day in the larger Municipal Stadium.

The only criticism I heard of the dog show was from Joe Gargiola.

Suddenly you're like a pirate, you're 65 years old and you've got an earring.

Someone I've always admired is Catherine O'Hara... I think she's one of the best actresses in the country, not only comedy. I just think she's just a step aside from everybody, she's just wonderful.

It's such a pleasure to work in these movies, it's almost like it's not really happening.

It's more fun in a way to do ensemble scenes, where you know your background, you know the scene, but you can't prepare because someone else is going to say something that is going to lead you off.

In this last movie, I gave it quite a lot of thought to my character, and I fell back on a lot of managers and agents that I've had, and my early New York days where comics would sit around a table doing jokes and the managers would have jokes, and so I based it on a lot of that.

I think my wife saw a picture of the rock group Journey, and they're kind of aging, and the one guy had dyed blonde hair with black roots, and... my idea was to get a little earring, I wanted to have a dangling earring.

I have also always had a fascination with the St. Louis teams; the Cardinals for their Gashouse Gang and classic uniform logos, and of course the Browns for just being the Browns and for Pete Gray. You can also still stand on the site of the '44 World Series, although the parks department has seen fit to plant over the old diamond.

I don't know why my lines that were cut from the film didn't make it onto the DVD. I have offered to go into the editing room with Christopher and work shoulder to shoulder with him to fit all my lines in. I think he thinks I'm kidding. I'm only trying to help.

Cleveland is my hometown, and the Indians have a narrow but rich history.

Babe Ruth's orphanage, St. Mary's, still stands outside of Baltimore, and although it's under another name, you can walk on the spot where the Babe first played and stand where he was photographed wearing that catchers mitt on the wrong hand.

All America is familiar with the Yankee-Dodger-Giant trivia, but so many other teams had great moments.
