Here are a few more of my favorites...
Baseball, it is said, is only a game. True. And the Grand Canyon is only a hole in Arizona. George F. Will The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don’t play together, the club won’t be worth a dime. Babe Ruth I was such a dangerous hitter I even got intentional walks in batting practice. Casey Stengel This is a game to be savored, not gulped. There’s time to discuss everything between pitches or between innings. Bill Veeck It’s hard to win a pennant, but it’s harder losing one. Chuck Tanner |
