“Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America, had better learn Baseball”

Jacques Barzun


The strongest thing that baseball has going for it today are its yesterdays.

Lawrence Ritter


"Nothing is more limited, than being a limited partner of George Steinbrenner."

Limited partner of the Yankees, John McMullen.


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.

Earl Weaver


Every hitter likes fastballs, just like everybody likes ice cream. But you don't like it when someone's stuffing it into you by the gallon. That's what it feels like when Nolan Ryan's thrown balls by you.

Reggie Jackson


Baseball is almost the only orderly thing in a very unorderly world. If you get three strikes, even the best lawyer in the world can't get you off.

Bill Veeck


You don't save a pitcher for tomorrow. Tomorrow it may rain.

Leo Durocher


Ninety feet between home plate and first base may be the closest man has ever come to perfection.

Red Smith


The charm of baseball is that, dull as it may be on the field, it is endlessly fascinating as a rehash.
