00:25:25 where there were at least 50 ballplayers

00:27:14 Don't come to our park wearing a New York Knicks top

00:29:08 Gregory Brown, also known as Elevator Man Number Two

00:31:08 Nothing! Right back to the Gangster!

00:33:03 And a whole mouth of breath stink!

00:34:58 This sacred ground has helped many a kid

00:37:39 - You hit it. - No, I didn't.

00:39:28 You don't have to be a thug.
