~ Winners make goals, losers make excuses ~
~ Since baseball time is measured only in outs, all you have to do is succeed utterly; keep hitting, keep the rally alive, and you have defeated time. You remain forever young. ~
~ Kids today are looking for idols, but sometimes they look too far... They don't have to look any farther than their home because those are the people that love you. They are the real heroes ~
~ Baseball is the only thing beside the paper clip that hasn't changed ~
~ One of the beautiful things about baseball is that every once in a while you come into a situation where you want to, and where you have to, reach down and prove something. ~
~ No one can stop a home run. No one can understand what it really is, unless you have felt it in your own hands and body.... As the ball makes its high, long arc beyond the playing field, the diamond and the stands suddenly belong to one man. In that brief, brief time, you are free of all demands an complications. ~
~ Nothing flatters me more than to have it assumed that I could write prose-unless it be to have it assumed that I once pitched a baseball with distinction. ~
~ You start chasing a ball and your brain immediately commands your body to Run forward! Bend! Scoop up the ball! Peg it to first! Then your body says who me? ~
~ You spend a good piece of your life gripping a baseball and in the end it turns out that it was the other way around all the time. ~
~ There is no room in baseball for discrimination. It is our national pastime and a game for all. ~
~ The pitcher has got only a ball. I've got a bat. So the percentage of weapons is in my favor and I let the fellow with the ball do the fretting. ~
~ A baseball fan has the digestive apparatus of a billy goat. He can, and does, devour any set of diamond statistics with insatiable appetite and then nuzzles hungrily for more. ~
~ You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the goddamn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all. ~
~ During my 18 years I came to bat almost 10,000 times. I struck out about 1,700 times and walked maybe 1,800 times. You figure a ballplayer will average about 500 at bats a season. That means I played seven years without ever hitting the ball. ~
~ I became a good pitcher when I stopped trying to make them miss the ball and started trying to make them hit it. ~
