Actually, New York Mets pitcher Tug McGraw is deemed to have uttered this quote. It went something like, "I spent 90% of the money I earned on women, Irish whiskey and fast cars...the other 10% I wasted." This after he'd been given a significant salary raise to $75,000. Of course, the statement has all the marks of being apocryphal.
