Mark Rolston: Voronov
Quotes
-
Sparky Smith : [breaking up an argument in Russian between the assistant coach and a player] Hold it, Hold it! What's the problem here?
Voronov : Is settled. Matter of tactics.
Andy : It's not settled. He says the pitcher should cover first base on a Texas Leaguer instead of home.
Sparky Smith : He's right.
Voronov : Uh-huh!
Andy : Even if there's a man on third?
Voronov : Manuel says first.
Sparky Smith : And let the run score?
Voronov : [frustrated] Fly ball between infield and outfield, pitcher covers first!
Sparky Smith : Sorry, Vladimir. Runner on third changes everything. Home is a hell of a lot more important than first base.
Voronov : [cursing in Russian, holds up a book] Manuel says first!
Sparky Smith : [realizing] Manuel?
Voronov : Prepared by Cuban baseballists and Soviet sports specialists and researchers!
Sparky Smith : Manuel is a man-u-al?
Voronov : Da.
Sparky Smith : [nods. Rips page out of book and throws it away] . Now he covers home.
