"Why didn't you hit the dirt?" - manager Jimmy McAleer to Delahanty who walked into a tag at home instead of sliding.

"He had me dead to rights and I couldn't see any use in soiling my clean flannel shirt." - Delahanty

"Mother, mother, mother, pin a rose on me. The first team who offers me the waiver will get you." - McAleer
