Overview

Philip Eugene Collins (August 27, 1901 – August 14, 1948) was a professional baseball player. He was a right-handed pitcher over parts of eight seasons (1923, 1929–1935) with the Chicago Cubs, Philadelphia Phillies and St. Louis Cardinals. For his career, he compiled an 80–85 record in 292 appearances, most as a relief pitcher, with a 4.66 earned run average and 423 strikeouts. As a hitter, Collins posted a .193 batting average (93-for-482) with 45 runs, 4 home runs and 44 RBI. He was used as a pinch hitter 13 times in his major league career. Collins was born and later died in Chicago of cancer at the age of 46. He was in baseball known as "Fidgety Phil", which was also inscribed on his gravestone at Holy Cross Cemetery and Mausoleums in Calumet City, Cook County, Illinois.

Notable quotes

“Wait for it, wait for it! Anticipation is half the fun. So I've been told...”
— Live at Wembley Stadium DVD (July 1987)
“Stewart Copeland is an amazing drummer. I just wish he didn't think he was amazing. Sting is a lovely bloke. We've become friends. I felt honored to be on stage with him at Live Aid.”
— Playboy interview (October 1986)
“I can't remember those words (Lyrics) even when we were on tour.”
— From "Telling Stories", when Collins was asked to sing "Home By The Sea", a song by the band Genesis from the album "Genesis"
“I wouldn't blow my head off. I'd overdose or do something that didn't hurt. But I wouldn't do that to the children. A comedian who committed suicide in the Sixties left a note saying, 'Too many things went wrong too often.' I often think about that.”
— On his suicidal thoughts in recent years — "Exclusive: Phil Collins Admits Suicidal Thoughts", Rolling Stone (9 November 2010)
“They're just horrible. Horrible, horrible guys. They're rude, not as talented as they think they are... I won't mince words here, but they've had a go at me personally.”
— On Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher, BBC programme Room 101, Series 10, Episode 8, 2005
“Past a certain point, the music is no longer mine. It's yours.”
