Ball Quotes
-

Babe Didrikson Zaharias -
Everybody has two swings-a beautiful practice swing and the choked-up one with with which they hit the ball. So it wouldn't do either of us a damned bit of good to look at your practice swing.
Ed Furgol
-
The ball is in the court of the two principals. There is basically four options they can take a look at.
B. R. Hayden -
Fundamentals are the most valuable tools a player can possess. Bunt the ball into the ground. Hit the cutoff man. Take the extra base. Learn the fundamentals.
Dick Williams -
I was on them a little bit after the game because they were dumping the ball in his lap when he wasn't hot. But I thought they did a good job of milking the clock.
Phil Jackson -
A golf ball is white, dimpled like a bishop's knees, and is the size of small mandarin oranges or those huge pills which vets blow down the throats of constipated cart-horses.
Frank Muir -
Probably the best I saw was a guy they said took pitches too much, that he should have tried to hit a ball even if it was a little outside: It was Ted Williams. They say he would tell the umpire whether it was a ball or strike.
Don Zimmer -
If you make a lot of yards and you turn the ball over, then you don't score points, ... So that's a tough lesson to learn. Maybe I'm looking at the good side of it Maybe it's good we get the lesson now. Last year, we started out the season and that's exactly what haunted us -- we turned the ball over and right now we're next to last in the league in terms of giveaways and takeaways.
Joe Gibbs
-
Pat's impact is that you can't just double Kevin anymore and single-block the other guy. Pat gives us some swagger against the run. He's determined that no one will run the ball on us because of him. Guys buy into that and start having high expectations for themselves, and I think that helps the whole defense.
Brian Baker Bad Religion -
And I missed it by two feet. It makes me understand and appreciate what the ball does do on its way into the plate.
Joe Mays -
That zone sagged off us late in the game. We were looking for Tyler, but they had a guy sitting in his lap and a guy behind him. So it was tough to get him the ball.
Bobby Frasor -
Kobe was waiting for his game to get hot and it never happened, and we tried to force the ball into him and it cost us.
Phil Jackson -

Elgin Baylor -
When Yogi hit the ball down the left-field line, with Amoros' speed and being a left-handed thrower -- a right-handed thrower probably couldn't have caught the ball. I always kid around with people. I say, 'I was very important in that seventh game.' You don't win many games by being taken out of the game.
Don Zimmer
-
We have to be a team that's going to be a little bit grimy, we're going to have to go after every loose ball that we can, we're going to have to be the team that dives on the floor.
Kevin Love -
We'd done an awful lot in a short space of time and it seemed easiest to cut the Gordian knot rather than try and untangle the big tangled ball of string.
Peter Campbell McNeish Buzzcocks -
I knew when the ball was going out (over the Green Monster). It was something I worked into the decoy, but it used to tick the pitchers off. Bill Monbouquette used to say, 'Can't you at least make it look like you can catch it?' Meanwhile, the ball would be on its way over the fence to a spot three-quarters of the way out to the railroad tracks.
Carl Yastrzemski -
One of the things you have to learn is that you don't have to have the ball all the time to be effective.
Allen Iverson -
You want to keep the ball, make first downs. You're trying to give yourself a chance to run and, every now and then, mix in the pass. When you lose a football game, you can say almost anything about it, but we thought we were trying to do smart things. Finishing off the game, that's a big deal, and that's what we've got to do.
Joe Gibbs -
It was a pass out into the flat. I saw the ball pop out and scooped it up on the first try. I got lucky.
Eddie Charles Jones
-
That was a heads-up play. I was behind him (backing up), and he saw the throw didn't have enough to get the runner. So he ran up where he could get the ball cleanly and make the throw. That made it two outs and no on, instead of (the potential for) an add-on run. The damage was over.
Jamie Moyer -
Hey! Sorry, lady, but nobody's staking anybody at this party! I hung a disco ball for this.
Rachel Caine -
As the ball comes down the pitch at such pace, it is a challenge just to keep going. But I'm working on it.
B. R. Hayden -
When Stephen got hurt...it was either a motivating force for the Pacers to get their run, but at the same time he was turning the ball over a lot, so he may have been an asset by default.
Phil Jackson
