Baseball Quotes

Baseball is a lot like the Army, there aren’t many individuals. About the only difference is that baseball players get to stay in nice hotels instead of barracks Picture Quote #1

I do something that I don’t think anyone else does. I warm up before a game. Baseball and basketball players warm up, so why shouldn’t the announcer warm up? Picture Quote #1

I think I understand why baseball players today are a little standoffish, because the world has changed. You don’t know who’s trying to take advantage of you, what people really want Picture Quote #1

Baseball players practice, runners practice, so how can you practice being funny? You get up onstage. You train as an improviser, playing make-believe, using the vernacular of improvisation, saying ‘yes and’ to other people’s ideas, making statements Picture Quote #1

One-third of all professional baseball players come from Latin America, and Sosa is following role models such as the late Roberto Clemente, a Puerto Rican, from whom he adopted the No. 21. Now he is a model for others Picture Quote #1

B.C. sat back in his chairWhatever America needs, the world will supply. Cocaine? Colombia steps to the plate. Shortage of farmworkers, corn detasselers? Thank God for Mexico. Baseball players? Viva Dominicana. Need more interns? India, Philippines zindabad Picture Quote #1

If you’ve ever been around a group of actors, you’ve noticed, no doubt, that the can talk of nothing else under the sun but acting...It’s exactly the same way with baseball players. Your heart must be in your work Picture Quote #1

Growing up, I looked up to major league baseball players, and now these young women have amazing, incredible women all across the board, from swimming to gymnastics to softball to basketball. It is incredible how far women have come and women in sports have come Picture Quote #1

Despite the situation in Cuba, I had a chance to play on the national team; and compared to other baseball players and other people in Cuba, I had the opportunity to live at a level that was not very high class but in the middle Picture Quote #1

In Hollywood, for me, it’s all about the movie stars and the singers. Baseball players don’t draw too much attention; we’re low key. I’m good with faces and sometimes bad with names, but I’ll walk up to somebody if I know who they are... show them some love Picture Quote #1

Major league baseball players and owners should meet immediately to enact the standards that apply to the minor leagues, and if they don’t, I will have to introduce legislation that says professional sports will have minimum standards for testing. I’ll give them until January, and then I’ll introduce legislation Picture Quote #1

Baseball is the favorite American sport because it’s so slow. Any idiot can follow it. And just about any idiot can play it Picture Quote #1

I think it puts baseball back on the map as a sport. It’s America’s pastime and just look at everyone coming out to the ballpark. It has been an exciting year Picture Quote #1

Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball, the rules and realities of the game - and do it by watching first some high school or small-town teams Picture Quote #1

If you’re an American reader, you can love short stories the way other Americans love baseball; this is our game, people! We have more than two hundred years of know-how and knack, of creativity Picture Quote #1

I’m always telling people baseball needs to be more prominent in the African American community. What a better way to do so, going on these TV shows and appearing on the cover of this or that. Now kids can see how baseball can change your life. Frank Thomas did that for me Picture Quote #1

Baseball is America’s pastime, and that record is absolutely huge in the States Picture Quote #1

Baseball has done more to move America in the right direction than all of the professional patriots with all their cheap words Picture Quote #1

Advertisements

My dad and all my family were into baseball. His brothers, my mom’s brothers, my mom’s father. Baseball was just always a part of our family Picture Quote #1

My dad introduced me to baseball. Then one of my friends asked if I could play on a team; my dad said I could, and I just fell in love with the game Picture Quote #1

I grew up with baseball; I played in Little League and went to games with my dad. But I, as I grew up, became more of a basketball fanatic than a baseball one Picture Quote #1

Even though my dad was a manager in the minor leagues, I still traveled around with him and saw it from the field out. Now, as an owner, you’re kind of looking from the whole baseball activity from outside in, from a fan’s perspective Picture Quote #1

I lived the baseball life as a kid, with my dad in it. And I lived the baseball life as an adult, because I was in it. When I retired, I wanted the opportunity to be a little bit more flexible and home-based for my kids Picture Quote #1
