Baseball Quotes

Opening day of baseball means only 120 more games until we need to start caring about baseball Picture Quote #1

I don’t know what you guys say, but at home, life is way different from baseball Picture Quote #1

Great baseball hitters succeed only one out of three times so you should try baseball Picture Quote #1

A baseball fan is a spectator sitting 500 feet from home plate, who can see better than an umpire standing five feet away Picture Quote #1

Until my senior year, baseball and basketball were my best sports; and even when I was a senior, I still wanted to play baseball professionally. But the family wanted me to go to college, and I guess I agreed with them, or else I would have accepted some of the offers I got Picture Quote #1

You should have seen Willie Wells play shortstop: as good as Ozzie Smith and a better hitter. How I wish people could have seen Ray Dandridge play third base, as good as Brooks Robinson and Craig Nettles and all of those. He was bowlegged; a train might go through there, but not a baseball Picture Quote #1

Courage is the virtue that President Kennedy most admired. He sought out those people who had demonstrated in some way, whether it was on a battlefield or a baseball diamond, in a speech or fighting for a cause, that they had courage that they would stand up, that they could be counted on Picture Quote #1

I love to be in the ballpark. I love to just go in and enjoy a great baseball game, a great pitchers’ duel Picture Quote #1

Baseball is really two sports -- the summer game and the autumn game. One is the leisurely pastime of our national mythology. The other is not so gentle Picture Quote #1

As far as sleeping goes, you’re up and ready to go at six in the morning. Spring training was always a combination of relaxing and working, and I missed that quite a bit. I missed being around the ball field. A baseball. A bat. The smell of the uniform, you might say. Talking baseball. Seeing opponents as well as the Cubs Picture Quote #1

I wanted to go on the red carpet with a baseball cap, t-shirt, and jeans. And I still do. Because that’s really who I am Picture Quote #1

In regards to steroids, I think we’re all to blame, all of baseball. I never realized how far-reaching this problem has been Picture Quote #1

I don’t think there’s any player that’s more talented than Alex Rodriguez. He cares very deeply about doing well. Baseball is his life. He puts a lot of pressure on himself Picture Quote #1

I remember when I got a call and was told I was traded [to the Yankees in 1974], I actually cried because I liked Kansas City. But coming to the Yankees was the best thing that ever happened to me in my baseball career Picture Quote #1

I was late to the Knicks. My dad was a big fan. But I first started watching baseball; I became a Red Sox fan. My dad was a Mets fan. I wanted to have my own team and league Picture Quote #1

All I can do is do my best work, try to create the best kind of moment to moment reality that I can do. That’s what I do. I’m an actor. And all the rest of it is like baseball. You hit the ball. Sometimes it goes in the hole. Sometimes it goes to the player Picture Quote #1

America overflows with specious ‘victims’ demanding redress for spurious grievances. However, one genuinely oppressed minority is getting overdue relief. Beginning with spring training in Arizona and Florida, Major League Baseball, taking pity on traumatized pitchers, is directing umpires to enforce the strike zone as defined in the rulebook. What a concept Picture Quote #1

Night baseball isn’t an aberration. What’s an aberration is a team that hasn’t won a World Series since 1908. They tend to think of themselves as a little Williamsburg, a cute little replica of a major league franchise. Give me the Oakland A’s, thank you very much. People who do it right Picture Quote #1

The people of America care about baseball, not about your squalid little squabbles. Reassume your dignity and remember that you (players during the 1981 strike) are the temporary custodians of an enduring public trust Picture Quote #1

Today’s baseball players are walking conglomerates. They have fantastic salaries, multiple investments, but we had one thing they don’t have today, the train ride. We didn’t always like it, but those rides kept us close as a team and as friends. Something you can’t get on a two hour plane ride that used to take you fifteen hours on a train Picture Quote #1

How can I play baseball if I’m stupid? If I was stupid I wouldn’t have pitched in the World Series. I’d be playing ball in Mexico or Yugoslavia or on Pluto Picture Quote #1

He (Ted Simmons) didn’t sound like a baseball player. He said things like ‘nevertheless’ and ‘if, in fact Picture Quote #1

We’re proud of Venezuela and Venezuelan baseball. People in America don’t realize it, but we’ve got 25, 30 million people here, and so many of us love baseball. This is a great place to look for talent Picture Quote #1

Spooky things happen in houses densely occupied by adolescent boys. When I checked out a four-inch dent in the living room ceilingone afternoon, even the kid still holding the baseball bat looked genuinely baffled about how he possibly could have done it Picture Quote #1

Probably the most dramatic change in pitching I’ve observed in my years in baseball has been the disappearance of the knockdown or brushback pitch. This is why record numbers of home runs are flying out of ballparks, why earned run averages are soaring, and why there are so few twenty game winners in the majors Picture Quote #1

He’s (Jack McKeon) been around baseball for twenty-plus years. He knows what it takes to be a manager. I hope he gets the chance Picture Quote #1

Building a baseball team is like building a house. You look for the best architects, the best builders - and then you let them do their jobs Picture Quote #1

The history of [Mariano] Rivera is pretty unbelievable. And even if you’re not a Yankee or a baseball fan, you have to appreciate the tradition. He gets respect from Boston fans and Phillies fans, and I love tradition Picture Quote #1

Back in the Eighties, I’d buy the biggest Benetton jumper I could find and would wear it long-sleeved, hanging off my shoulders, with a varsity jacket and a baseball cap on back to front with a quiff. I was the smallest boy in my class, and I looked like a reject from New Kids On The Block. Terrible Picture Quote #1

I won an MVP trophy with the St. Louis Amateur Baseball Association. I didn’t even start. I was a sub on this team. This was, like, an All-Star game where we had athletes from different teams, different mixtures. We had, like, the only black team in the league, basically. We had four players go to the All-Star game Picture Quote #1
