This was said by Colt .45s catcher Hal Smith after the inaugural game - an 11-2 win over the Cubs - 50 years ago today. For the life of me, I cannot figure out why "We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son" isn't the 2012 slogan.
Now go out and get your appropriate hot weather juice and enjoy the game tonight.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
-Hal Smith
