"Dahling, I am the national pastime.""I was hoping they would move 200 miles farther West.""I wish I'd been born a second baseman.""There have been only two authentic geniuses in the world, Willie Mays and Willie Shakespeare."Acting is a form of confession. Dahling Congressman Boykin: 10 AM is an unprecedented time for a child of the grease paint to cope with the sandman. Here's a rule I recommend: Never practice two vices at once.
