When Roy Hobbes met the Ayatola Kohmenie he was holding a copy of Salman Rushdie's Satanic Verses and said "Have you read this thing yet? Good book!"

When they asked the Pope what three people living or dead he'd like to have dinner with he was like "Roy Hobbes as a child, teen, and now"

Roy Hobbs knows where amazing will happen this year
(AND he even knows who'll make it happen)
Tommy: He's got a line about me. Tell him the line.

Mike: Everybody 60 or over knows Tommy as a player. Everybody 40 or over knows Tommy as a coach. Everybody 20 or over knows Tommy as a broadcaster. And everybody 10 or under thinks he's Shrek.

  • "Love is the soul of a true Irishman"
The following episode is a true event and shows the downside to being Roy Hobbs.

I saw Roy Hobbs today. He was running as fast as he could and couldn't stop to say hello. A short while after, a mob of beautiful, scantily clad women were running after him holding up signs saying "be mine" and "I want you" and other slogans which are too rude to mention here. Further down, there were other women fighting, one shouting "it's me he wants, stay (pulling hair) away (slapping face) from (kicking shins) Roy!"

While making the "Roy Hobbs" movie, they had to change the title after the realized "The Greatest Story Ever Told" was already used.

Roy Hobbs is so important, at the top of Jeff's resume it says:


"Roy Hobbs works for me."

Usually when Roy Hobbs breaks up with a chick he says "It's not me. It's you"

Roy Hobbs predicted the making of this thread, and came up with every Roy Hobbs joke that has been made thus far (including this one), years before CelticsBlog even existed.
