Baseball Quotes

Dad played with me a great deal, as dads should do, and our chief sport was baseball. He bought me a hardball when I was three years old, and he used to sit in a rocker on the front porch while I sat on the grass in the yard, and we’d play catch by the hour Picture Quote #1

Yeah, I miss it. You don’t just break off a friendship you’ve had with a sport, and with all those you’ve met all over the country. We’ve got some friends, some very close friends, and you just sit back and think how fortunate you were having a career like that. And, actually, there’s nothing in the game of baseball that hasn’t happened to me Picture Quote #1

Baseball loyalists cite the game’s legendary numbers - 300 wins, 500 homers, 3,000 hits - as evidence of the sport’s elegance, beauty, and gravitas. What no one mentions is how wretched and painful it is to actually watch a former star gasp and sputter his way toward a legendary number Picture Quote #1

The difference between a home run and a swing-and-a-miss is, what, an inch and a half? You can throw a great pitch, the guy makes a great swing. And if it’s at a guy, it’s an out. That’s the beauty of baseball, really. There’s not just one guy in control Picture Quote #1
