It took me seventeen years to get 3,000 hits in baseball. I did it in one afternoon on the golf course

Baseball players quit playing and they take up golf. Basketball players quit, take up golf. Football players quit, take up golf. What are we supposed to take up when we quit?
George Archer
In baseball you hit your home run over the right-field fence, the left-field fence, the center-field fence. Nobody cares. In golf everything has got to be right over second base.
Ken Harrelson
I never thought home runs were all that exciting. I still think the triple is the most exciting thing in baseball. To me, a triple is like a guy taking the ball on his 1-yard line and running 99 yards for a touchdown

Baseball is a game of inches
Branch Rickey
Baseball serves as a good model for democracy in action: Every player is equally important and each has a chance to be a hero
Edward Abbey
You teach me baseball and I'll teach you relativity...No we must not You will learn about relativity faster than I learn baseball
Albert Einstein
I would be lost without baseball. I don't think I could stand being away from it as long as I was alive
Roberto Clemente
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
The clock doesn't matter in baseball. Time stands still or moves backwards. Theoretically, one game could go on forever. Some seem to.
Herb Caen
Any baseball is beautiful. No other small package comes as close to the ideal in design and utility. It is a perfect object for a man's hand. Pick it up and it instantly suggests its purpose: it is meant to be thrown a considerable distance-thrown hard and with precision
Roger Angell
I think a baseball field must be the most beautiful thing in the world. It's so honest and precise. And we play on it. Every star gets humbled. Every mediocre player has a great moment
