WHAT THEY SAY:

  • "That left fielder would have needed a rocket up his ass to catch that ball" Dee Carter, circa 1995 (Paraphrasing Bob Uecker, following Jack's home run over the scoreboard at Samuel-Grand Park).

  • "I can't believe with all the murders and rapes in this neighborhood, that those Dallas cops don't have anything better to do than harass the Worms. All we're doing is drinking beer." Jack, circa 1995 (after a cop sat in his car for an hour and a half watching the Worms after a game).

  • "Just thinning the herd." Jack, circa 1997 (following the Heaven's Gate mass suicide in San Diego, CA).

  • "Gosh dang it!!" Mike McKee, circa 1998 (After Jack tried to pick a runner off base and threw the ball in the dugout).

  • "I'm already in the doghouse, so what difference does it make if I get home at midnight or 5am?" Jack, circa 2000 (At the Worms' victory party following the Spring Dallas City Tournament, acknowledging that he was in trouble with Mary Ann).

  • "What? I was just standing there!" Jack, circa 2001 (After he was setup to have his picture taken with a young blonde at Scooters).

  • "Who are you backing up these days?" Jack, circa 2001 (Jack quizzing Jimmie on what he did during the offseason).

  • "I thought we passed a new Worm's Bylaw that there would be no more "poker" played with any Worm's girls." Jack, circa 2001 (Responding to an email from McKee asking if there would be women and poker at an upcomming Worm party).

  • "Ah, the sweet smell of raw sewage. A couple dozen mosquito bites to get that blood circulating. The potholes, the floods, the muck and mire. The pleasant banter of American capitalism and the theater of the human spirit from nearby crack houses. The anticipation of a stray 9 mm whizzing by. An occasional chat with one of Dallas' finest. There is nothing like Fair Oaks in the Springtime!" Jack, circa 2002.

  • "The Worms have more off-season movement than the Dallas Cowboys." Jack, circa 2003.
