Famous quotes and sentences with the word free-for-all.
1
Charles Comiskey
I had some great pitchers while in St. Louis. At first, they only 'pitched' the ball fifty feet. They had an allowance of six bases on balls, which was neutralized to some extent by four strikes. Later on, the 'throw' became a free-for-all, overhand, or any style the pitcher chose.

Betsey Johnson
In the 60's there was a look. In the 70's there was a look, and in the 80's. Now, it's a free-for-all.

Bob Menendez
There's a difference between a free market and free-for-all market.

Tig Notaro
It was a free-for-all with music when I was growing up. My mother was a huge music fanatic so I was listening to everything from country to heavy metal to Indigo Girls to Elton John. I guess when I was really young I didn't like Willie Nelson, and she obviously loved him. Now I do too, I'm so thankful to her for playing his music nonstop.
