Players Quotes

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

There’s so much built-up camaraderie and sacrifice, and football is such a tough man’s game. I think that’s why it’s so popular. That’s why so many blue-collar communities and people can really feel attracted to this because it is a blue-collar struggle that football players go through 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

I’m a big soccer fan, so any soccer player that I meet, I always get star struck. I’ve met a lot of big stars - Justin Timberlake, Michael Buble - and I don’t ever get starstruck, but when I met famous ex-football players, I just got completely starstruck 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

In football, every play, play after play, there’s that physicality. Football players only play once a week, so they must really need to rest. That does kind of tell you how physical the sport is. But in hockey, you have the boards. I just couldn’t say which is more physical Picture Quote #1

I think there’s an awful lot of ball players with great skills, but whether or not they’re going to be on winning teams is not going to be answered until you see how they fit in to a team or a program. If they don’t, it may be their fault or it may be their coaches Picture Quote #1

Most players I play with, I don’t look at their swing when they’re over the ball or anything like that Picture Quote #1

I’m not a person or a selfish player, but we have to move the ball more, and we have to look further the team game, because we have enough talent to use different players Picture Quote #1

Leadership is diving for a loose ball, getting the crowd involved, getting other players involved. It’s being able to take it as well as dish it out. That’s the only way you’re going to get respect from the players Picture Quote #1

It is one of my pet hates when I see players who have agents who do everything for them. They don’t know how to set up their own bank accounts, they don’t know what they are spending their money on and they can’t make their own decisions Picture Quote #1

I knew I wasn’t a baseball writer. I was scared to death. I really was afraid to talk to players, and I didn’t want to go into the press box because I thought I was faking it Picture Quote #1

It’s no secret what’s going on in baseball. At least half the players are using steroids Picture Quote #1

Commenting on baseball players who test positive for steroids: It?s an announced test, so you not only failed the steroid test, you failed the IQ test Picture Quote #1

Baseball is a team game but, at the same time, it’s a very lonely game: unlike in soccer or basketball, where players roam around, in baseball everyone has their little plot of the field to tend. When the action comes to you, the spotlight is on you but no one can help you Picture Quote #1

More than any other games, baseball gives its players space - both physical and emotional - in which to define themselves Picture Quote #1

Marlins Park is what I call my office in Miami, because I work for the Venezuelan Museum of Baseball and Hall of Fame. My job is to go to all the MLB stadiums and to talk to and collect articles from all the Venezuelan players in the big leagues and those Americans that played in Venezuela Picture Quote #1

If you seriously aspire to be a manager in the big leagues, there is a baseball ‘book’ that one must learn. Alongside that book, you must practice Spanish. Of 25 players on each roster, sometimes there are between eight and 15 players who speak Spanish Picture Quote #1

The day I left baseball, I became smart. When I was in baseball, I played for the love of the game. I’d sign any contract they gave me. But then I stopped playing and began doing interviews with the players at the ball park. I began to see the light Picture Quote #1

When you hear from other players and they’re telling you you’re the best pitcher in baseball, that makes you feel really good Picture Quote #1

[In hockey] I was a goon, just protecting the better players. I’ve always been a better baseball player Picture Quote #1

To give you an idea what it feels like to be going in with some of the best baseball players of all-time, I mean it is fantastic. I have to say this about them, there are so many of these guys up here that were my role models, people I looked up to, people I wanted to be like Picture Quote #1

It’s time to cut off visas for foreign baseball players and return our national pastime to Americans Picture Quote #1

The only reason baseball’s numerical touchstones have any significance is that most players - even the game’s greats - peter out just barely before they reach them Picture Quote #1

It’s always exciting that you can rub elbows with some of the greatest players who have ever played the game, and just being around the family again from baseball Picture Quote #1

The great trouble with baseball today is that most of the players are in the game for the money and that’s it, not for the love of it, the excitement of it, the thrill of it Picture Quote #1

I would love to see as many of the black players as possible in today’s Major League Baseball make every effort to go to the Negro Leagues Museum and get a first-hand view of how it all started Picture Quote #1

Baseball and the players association have rules. If you stay within the rules - which say that you can play while you’re appealing - I don’t see what anyone would be in arms about Picture Quote #1
