Jim Bunning League Quotations

I hope now that the other sports leagues take note of baseball's lead and toughen up their own penalizes, too,

We'll leave it there and see what the other major league sports do, ... We are very anxious to rid all professional sports of any ... steroids or amphetamines.

see what the other major league sports do. ... We hope this agreement by major league baseball will stimulate the other sports to stiffen their penalties.

If they would take seriously the bills before the Congress and negotiate some kind of settlement that is close to the bills in the House and in the Senate, then I think major league sports and their unions could get away without having legislation passed by the Congress, ... I don't see that happening.

We have heard a lot of talk from professional sports leagues that they would do something to clean up this mess, but so far it has been just that: a lot of talk, ... Hopefully Congress' action will light a fire under their feet to come to an agreement before we do it for them.

Well, the World Series has come and gone, and they still have not come to an agreement, so we're going to move ahead in Congress, ... It's my opinion that Major League Baseball and the players union will not come to an agreement that's satisfactory.

It's unfortunate we've come to the point where Congress has to take action but the leagues and the players have left us no other choice,

We plan to find out if these major league sports are going to do anything. If they give us the excuse that they're tied in to collective bargaining agreements and they can't do anything, ... then it's up to Congress to change it and make it the law of the land.

I and my colleagues will be watching very closely, and if things unravel, we still have tough legislation we can move through Congress.
