Aesthetic Quotes
-

I don't like comparisons with football. Baseball is an entirely different game. You can watch a tight, well-played football game,but it isn't exciting if half the stadium is empty. The violence on the field must bounce off a lot of people.

Baseball has an aesthetic, intellectual appeal found in no other team sport.
