You might try stringing a few together, changing a bit here and there and pretty soon you've got a bona fide baseball quote.
Something like....
For a new manager:
"I'm just glad to be here. We're gonna have to take the season one game at a time you know, but I want to tell you I come to win. If I don't win, I'm gonna be fired. If I do win, I've only put off the day I'm gonna be fired. I think this team seems ready to gel. And I gotta say that I think we can win if my brains and our bullpen hold out. "
Three Homeruns in a game:
"I was seeing the ball real good. Had some friends up here from back home who'd never seen a big league homer so I game them a few. Its days like today that make me say I'd walk through hell in a gasoline suit to play baseball."
On 3000 hits:
"Baseball is a funny game. My first manager told me that a man is born with two strikes against him so don't take the third one on your own. Yup, just see the ball as it comes in and hit it. And that's what I've been doing. But I gotta tell you I'm just like anyone else... I've got two arms, two legs and 3000 hits."
League record for strikeouts (pitcher) in a game:
"I just went right at 'em.... just wanted to go as hard as I could as long as I could. Heck, if anybody told me I was setting a record I'd of got me some more strikeouts. Its like my very first pitching coach back home told me... he said 'Just take the ball and throw it where you want to. Throw strikes. Home plate don't move.' "
