Baseball Quotes
-
Baseball, while you're doing it, you think it's going to last forever.
Joe Torre

If baseball wants to get you, they've got enough resources and enough investigators that they'll find a way to get you.
Pete Rose
-
Baseball's owners must be the only U.S. citizens whose parents never told them the story of the boy who cried wolf. Their perennial cry of evaporating profits and imminent catastrophe in the presence of of rapidly growing revenues and escalating franchise values is hard to take seriously.
Andrew Zimbalist
-
With my father, there was one baseball game, one football game, one fishing trip. You got one of everything. And that was all you got. It was enough, though, and I adored him. He was a god to me.
David Carradine

I couldn't see well enough to play baseball when I was a boy, so they gave me a special job - they made me an umpire.
Harry S Truman

I suppose, if someone was into baseball for an extended period of time during their formative years, they're always going to be interested in it.

When he hit it, I knew that it was my ball. But I had to catch it and it seemed like the hardest catch of my life. I said to myself, 'Two hands, just like your dad taught you.'
Darin Erstad
-
In an unhealthy way, I found a lot of validity in having always been a very good athlete, a very good baseball player, and I've since grown out of that place into a different perspective and learned how to live differently, thankfully, where baseball is certainly something that's very important to me. It's not who I am, though. It's just what I do.
R.A. Dickey
-
Baseball, like Pericles' Athens (or any other good society), is simultaneously democratic and aristrocratic. Anyone can enjoy it, but the more you apply yourself, the more you enjoy it.
George Will
-
There are lots of guns and action in my drawings, and part of that is just to make them more interesting. Because you can go through a whole film and it's mostly talking heads and little else until the action scenes, and they're usually violence or physical stuff. Same with baseball, or any sport. Except I find pitching and batting are visually very striking.

As American as an apple is and as American as baseball is, they don't go together. You can't be chewing an apple at a baseball game. You've got to let go of the diet that day.
Kevin James
-
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.
Chad Harbach
-
As long as I'm around playing baseball, it doesn't matter where I am, as long as it's not with the Yankees.
Carl Everett
-
The game of baseball is made up of many little things. If we do all the little things right, then we'll never have a big thing to worry about
Cal Ripken, Sr.

I think I have a pretty goofy profile for a writer. It seems to me most writers were reading 'Little Women' when they were 6 months old. At the age of a lot of my readers, I wanted to be a major league baseball player. I didn't read much.
