"Baseball is like sex. There's never been a ballplayer slept with me who didn't have the best year of his career. Making love is like hitting a baseball: You just gotta relax and concentrate. Besides, I'd never sleep with a player hitting under .250, not unless he had a lot of RBI and was a great glove man up the middle. You see, there's a certain amount of life wisdom I give these boys. I can expand their minds. Sometimes when I got a ballplayer alone, I'll just read Emily Dickinson or Walt Whitman to him, and the guys are so sweet, they always stay and listen. 'Course, a guy'll listen to anything, if he thinks it's foreplay. I make them feel confident, and they make me feel safe, and pretty. 'Course, what I give them lasts a lifetime; what they give me lasts 142 games. Sometimes it seems like a bad trade. But bad trades are part of baseball - now who can forget Frank Robinson for Milt Pappas, for God's sake? It's a long season and you gotta trust it. I've tried 'em all, I really have, and the only church that truly feeds the soul, day in, day out, is the Church of Baseball." Annie Savoy. "Bull Durham"

Kassie O’Brien has officially been named the AVCA National Freshman of the Year, the first player in Kentucky HISTORY to do it. Incredible, incredible accomplishment.

Hard to believe today is Eva Hudson’s final time playing on the court inside Memorial. Sacrificed to come to Lexington and play for Skinner for a chance to do something special. Pack Memorial today, BBN, and let’s honor her here in Lexington one final time!

I cannot get over this crowd. This is more than the Cats had at several regular season games on a standard weekend match. What a turnout!!!
