Quotes from and about sports are rife with sexual connotation if taken out of context. Let’s list some! Past, present, famous, obscure, whatever.

Inspired by this gem by Nationals pitcher Gio Gonzalez following yesterday’s win over Miami:

> [@Gio Gonzalez](#):
>
> “I felt like I was making love to my hand. Just one of those things where I was constantly trying to find some grip, somehow, some way. The rosin bag, whatever, licking the fingers. But it felt good after that.”

Authorities differ as to whether Brian Johnston ever actually [said](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Johnston#Commentary_Humour) “the bowler’s Holding, the batsman’s Willey”, but it certainly could have happened and, you feel, should have happened.

How frustrating. Try this one - unfortunately it’s got some audience laugh track over it.

OK, here we go, we got a real pressure cooker going here. Two down, nobody on, no score, bottom of the ninth. There’s the wind-up, and there it is, a line shot up the middle, look at him go. This boy can really fly. He’s rounding first and really turning it on now, he’s not letting up at all, he’s gonna try for second. The ball is bobbled out in the center. And here’s the throw and what a throw. He’s gonna slide in head first. Here he comes, he’s out. No, wait, safe, safe at second base. This kid really makes things happen out there. Batter steps up to the plate. Here’s the pitch, he’s going and what a jump he’s got. He’s trying for third. Here’s the throw. It’s in the dirt, safe at third. Holy cow, stolen base. He’s taking a pretty big lead out there. Almost daring them to pick him off. The pitcher glances over, winds-up and it’s bunted, bunted down the third base line. The suicide squeeze is on. Here he comes, squeeze play, it’s gonna be close. Here’s the throw, here’s the play at the plate. Holy cow, I think he’s gonna make it -
