THE CHALLENGE APPLICATION HAS MOVED! THE NEW LOCATION IS: http://naqcc.wb5rvz.org The SPORTS QUOTES Challenge  PREMISE: Sports interviews … they generate some of the most quotable quotes out there. Sometimes you just have to wonder if you heard it right. Here is a small collection for your reading pleasure. There is also a list of the names of those who said them. Can you match them up? The answers are at the bottom of this page. “I was such a dangerous hitter I even got intentional walks in batting practice.” “I want to rush for 1,000 or 1,500 yards. Whichever comes first.” “I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father.” “They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their minds.” “I went through baseball as a player to be named later.” “He's a guy who gets up at six o'clock in the morning regardless of what time it is.” “It took me 17 years to get 3,000 hits in baseball. I did it in one afternoon on the golf course.” “I’ve never lost a game. I just ran out of time.” “Sometimes they write what I say, not what I mean.” “I feel like I'm the best, but you're not going to get me to say that.” “You can observe a lot by just watching.” The guys who said it: Hank Aaron Yogi Berra Wilt Chamberlain Lou Duva Joe Garagiola Pedro Guerrero Michael Jordan Greg Norman Jerry Rice George Rogers Casey Stengle TIME FRAME: The first day of the month 0000Z through the last day of the month 2400Z. RULES: Just make these words from calls of stations you work, subject to the General Challenge Rules. CASEY STENGLE GEORGE ROGERS LOU DUVA WILT CHAMBERLAIN JERRY RICE YOGI BERRA HANK AARON MICHAEL JORDAN The 86 total letters contain these 21 different letters: A B C D E G H I J K L M N O R S T U V W Y You can use each letter in a call TWICE. For example you could use K3WWP for 2 K's, 4 W's, and 2 P's. Subsequent QSO's with the same station cannot be used for additional letters. For example, no matter how many times you work K3WWP, you can only use his call for 8 of the letters in the words. See General Rule #5 for more details on what callsign letters can be used.
