Earl Wilson

~ I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game. It will take our people out-of-doors, fill them with oxygen, give them a larger physical stoicism. Tend to relieve us from being a nervous, dyspeptic set. Repair these losses, and be a blessing to us ~

Walt Whitman

Art Hill

~ That's baseball, and it's my game. Y' know, you take your worries to the game, and you leave 'em there. You yell like crazy for your guys. It's good for your lungs, gives you a lift, and nobody calls the cops. Pretty girls, lots of 'em ~

Daley

Brendan Francis

~ Baseball is not necessarily an obsessive-compulsive disorder, like washing your hands 100 times a day, but it's beginning to seem that way. We're reaching the point where you can be a truly dedicated, state-of-the-art fan or you can have a life. Take your pick ~

Thomas Boswell

~ I don't love baseball. I don't love most of today's players. I don't love the owners. I do love, however, the baseball that is in the heads of baseball fans. I love the dreams of glory of 10-year-olds, the reminiscences of 70-year-olds. The greatest baseball arena is in our heads, what we bring to the games, to the telecasts, to reading newspaper reports. ~

Stan Isaacs

~ Basketball, hockey and track meets are action heaped upon action, climax upon climax, until the onlooker's responses become deadened. Baseball is for the leisurely afternoons of summer and for the unchanging dreams ~

Roger Kahn

~ Baseball is reassuring. It makes me feel as if the world is not going to blow up ~

Sharon Olds

~ Though I like the various forms of football in the world, I don't think they begin to compare with these two great Anglo-Saxon ball games for sophisticated elegance and symbolism. Baseball and cricket are beautiful and highly stylized medieval war substitutes, chess made flesh, a mixture of proud chivalry and base - in both senses - greed. With football we are back to the monotonous clashing armor of the brontosaurus. ~

John Fowles

~ The great thing about baseball is that there's a crisis every day. ~

Gabe Paul

~ The place was always cold, and I got the feeling that the fans would have enjoyed baseball more if it had been played with a hockey puck ~

Andre Dawson

~ A baseball game is twice as much fun if you're seeing it on the company's time ~

William C. Feather

~ Baseball, it is said, is only a game. True. And the Grand Canyon is only a hole in Arizona. ~

George F. Will

~ Baseball is like a poker game. Nobody wants to quit when he's losing; nobody wants you to quit when you're ahead ~

Jackie Robinson

~ What we have are good gray ballplayers, playing a good gray game and reading the good gray Wall Street Journal. They have been brainwashed, dry-cleaned and dehydrated!... Wake up the echoes at the Hall of Fame and you will find that baseball's immortals were a rowdy and raucous group of men who would climb down off their plaques and go rampaging through Cooperstown, taking spoils.... Deplore it if you will, but Grover Cleveland Alexander drunk was a better pitcher than Grover Cleveland Alexander sober ~

Bill Veeck

~ Reading about baseball is a lot more interesting than reading about chess, but you have to wonder: Don't any of these guys ever go fishing? ~

Dave Shiflett
