Baseball Quotes

What really makes baseball so hard is it’s retributive capacity for disaster if the smallest thing is done wrong, and the invisible presence of defeat that attends every game Picture Quote #1

I played everything. I played lacrosse, baseball, hockey, soccer, track and field. I was a big believer that you played hockey in the winter and when the season was over you hung up your skates and you played something else Picture Quote #1

I remember the last season I played. I went home after a ballgame one day, lay down on my bed, and tears came to my eyes. How can you explain that? It’s like crying for your mother after she’s gone. You cry because you love her. I cried, I guess, because I loved baseball, and I knew I had to leave it Picture Quote #1

Men are too emotional to vote. Their conduct at baseball games and political conventions shows this, while their innate tendency to appeal to force renders them particularly unfit for the task of government... Man’s place is in the armory Picture Quote #1

Listen, I was the first black manager in baseball and there was incredible pressure. I don’t blame anyone else. I was too tough... I lack patience. I probably got on guys a little too hard, with the wrong tone of voice Picture Quote #1

It is not heroin or cocaine that makes one an addict, it is the need to escape from a harsh reality. There are more television addicts, more baseball and football addicts, more movie addicts, and certainly more alcohol addicts in this country than there are narcotics addicts Picture Quote #1

Baseball is a lot like life. The line drives are caught, the squibbles go for base hits. It’s an unfair game Picture Quote #1

The one constant through all the years has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It’s been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game, is a part of our past. It reminds us of all that once was good, and what could be again Picture Quote #1

My father kept me busy from dawn to dusk when I was a kid. When I wasn’t pitching hay, hauling corn or running a tractor, I was heaving a baseball into his mitt behind the barn... If all the parents in the country followed his rule, juvenile delinquency would be cut in half in a year’s time Picture Quote #1

Normal people have an incredible lack of empathy. They have good emotional empathy, but they don’t have much empathy for the autistic kid who is screaming at the baseball game because he can’t stand the sensory overload. Or the autistic kid having a meltdown in the school cafeteria because there’s too much stimulation Picture Quote #1

I knew at a young age, whether I was playing baseball or hockey or lacrosse, that my teammates were counting on me, whether it be to strike the last batter out in a baseball game or score a big goal in a hockey game Picture Quote #1

In baseball, democracy shines its clearest. The only race that matters is the race to the bag. The creed is the rule book. And color, merely something to distinguish one team’s uniform from another’s Picture Quote #1

Baseball is a spirited race of man against man, reflex against reflex. A game of inches. Every skill is measured. Every heroic, every failing is seen and cheered, or booed. And then becomes a statistic Picture Quote #1

When you’re mad at someone, it’s probably best not to break his arm with a baseball bat Picture Quote #1

I played baseball up until my freshman year of high school. That was my main sport. I played third base Picture Quote #1

Baseball calls it a curve ball for a reason: you just don’t know where some pitches will land. Your ace could get injured. Your golden glover could err. Your team could sit through a rain delay. Your manager could get ejected. Your bench must be broad and deep enough to overcome Picture Quote #1

Even if my father wasn’t speaking to me, he would never, ever miss a baseball game Picture Quote #1

I admitted I bet on baseball, but I wasn’t suspended from baseball for betting on baseball Picture Quote #1

If it wasn’t for baseball, I’d be in either the penitentiary or the cemetery Picture Quote #1

Any one game in baseball doesn’t tell you that much, just as any one poll doesn’t tell you that much Picture Quote #1

In baseball you have terrific data and you can be a lot more creative with it Picture Quote #1

You should never wear a baseball cap when working in close quarters in the attic: You never see that beam above you! Picture Quote #1

Baseball is the most perfect of games, solid, true, pure and precious as diamonds. If only life were so simple. Within the baselines anything can happen. Tides can reverse; oceans can open. That’s why they say, we don’t stop playing because we get old. We get old because we stop playing Picture Quote #1

A kid might help another kid who fell into a river, and a kid might help another kid search for a lost baseball, but there isn’t a kid I’ve met who will help another kid out of a humiliating situation. We just aren’t built that way Picture Quote #1

I believe every... man remembers the girl he thinks he should have married. She reappears to him in his lonely moments, or he sees her in the face of a young girl in the park, buying a snowball under an oak tree by the baseball diamond. But she belongs to back there, to somebody else, and that thought sometimes rends your heart in a way that you never share with anyone else Picture Quote #1

If a guy is taking his girl for granted, he really deserves a slap, with a baseball bat Picture Quote #1

You spend a good deal of your life gripping a baseball, and it turns out it was the other way around all the time Picture Quote #1

Baseball is the greatest game in the world and deserves the best you can give it Picture Quote #1

Well, there are three things that the average man thinks he can do better than anybody else. Build a fire, run a hotel and manage a baseball team Picture Quote #1

If you don’t think baseball is a big deal, don’t do it. But if you do, do it right Picture Quote #1
