Baseball Hall of Famer Ralph Kiner died yesterday at the age of 91. He slugged 369 HRs, most of them with the Pittsburgh Pirates, although he also played with the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians. He later became a broadcaster and he spent five decades behind the microphone calling New York Mets games. Calling a game in 2001 he provided one of the best quotes in baseball history and one that is implicitly pro-life. Eric Karros was the 1B for the Los Angeles Dodgers and after doubling off the Mets pitcher, Kiner said of the slow-footed Karros: “If Eric Karros raced a pregnant girl, he’d finish third.” Great insult.
