With all due respect to all parties involved, if you call yourself a baseball fan and don't know who Jerry Coleman is, you need to re-evaluate yourself.
Beside being a staple of four Yankees World Series championship teams, you now know that he's the colorful, hilariously funny former play-by-play man of the Padres. I might even say he's the Harry Caray of the West Coast, if you want to put it that way.
If you don't find these quotes funny, you certainly have a right to your opinion, but I do have a sense of humor, and I enjoy them. It's the little quirky, light-hearted things like this that just make OOTP a special game. And I would hope that a few sour apples won't make these types of quotes disappear in future versions.

Well, since he was on the Yanks with Berra and Stengel, maybe he heard som much crazyspeak it rubbed off on him.
