August 3, 201115 yr I admit it that I have such a love crush on Jack. Not only for his knowledge, his experience, his managerial abilities, but his wit. It would be awesome to gather all of it together whether they are funny or cutting.....because that is Jack being Jack.
August 3, 201115 yr Author During a pregame session with reporters in his office (last night), McKeon picked up his cell phone to see who was calling, then snapped it shut. ''Ahhh, Obama,'' he deadpanned. ''Sign the thing. What are you calling me for?''

August 3, 201115 yr Author McKeon said he doubted (Hanley) Ramirez (shoulder injury) would play Wednesday, "unless I take him to St. Patrick's and get it blessed, put a little holy water on his shoulder or something. We might do that."

Sorry I found it as a note in an article so if it is, I don't know where. But I would love to see it also.

August 3, 201115 yr Author Leo Nunez found out that the game is not only a business, but a hotbed for pranks. Trade rumors have been circling the Marlins’ closer since the offseason, and four months after April Fools’ Day, Nunez was led to believe he had been traded right after accruing his 30th save of the season – to the non-contending Chicago Cubs of all places. Jack McKeon called Leo into his office and laid the faux news on him, to the amusement of his teammates. But the solemn conversation soon gave way to levity as the clubhouse couldn’t contain their laughter.
August 3, 201115 yr when asked about computers McKeon replied "my computer is right between my eyes."

Sounds familiar :lol Also from what I've read, it was Hanley that planted the idea in Jack's mind to do this prank.
