"Nobody ever won a pennant without a star shortstop"

- Leo Durocher

About this Quote

This quote by Leo Durocher is a suggestion of the value of having a star shortstop on a baseball team. It suggests that a team can not win a pennant, or a champion, without having a star shortstop. This is because the shortstop is the most essential protective position on the field, and a team requires a strong defensive player to help them win games. A star shortstop can also supply offending production, which can be the distinction in between winning and losing. Durocher's quote is a pointer that a group requires a star shortstop to be successful and win a pennant. It is a tip that a team can not win a championship without a star shortstop, and that a group needs to constantly make every effort to have a star shortstop on their lineup.
