Dizzy Dean had some good ones.
"The doctors x-rayed my head and found nothing." --- After being hit in the head by a throw in the 1934 World Series.
"I've just been informed that the fat lady is the Queen of Holland." --- When broadcasting a game Dean noticed there was a big commotion down in the box seats with everyone standing up. Dean started out telling the radio audience, "There's a commotion down in the stands below me and I don't know what it's all about but it seems to have something to do with a fat lady walking out." Someone else in the booth whispered in Dizzy's ear that the lady was the Dutch queen and everyone was standing in respect as she left the stadium.
