There are three types of baseball players: those who make it happen, those who watch it happen, and those who wonder what happens.
Tommy Lasorda
If I hear Bowie Kuhn say just once more he's doing something for the betterment of baseball, I'm going to throw-up.
Sparky Anderson
Baseball hasn't forgotten me. I go to a lot of old-timers games and I haven't lost a thing. I sit in the bullpen and let people throw things at me. Just like old times.
Bob Uecker
Baseball's future? Bigger and bigger, better and better! No question about it, it's the greatest game there is!
Ted Williams
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
There are surprisingly few real students of the game in baseball; partly because everybody, my eighty-three year old grandmother included, thinks they learned all there was to know about it at puberty. Baseball is very beguiling that way.
Alvin Dark
I remember I was a scared rookie, hitting .220 after the first three months of my baseball season, and doubting my ability.
Carl Yastrzemski
Baseball players are smarter than football players. How often do you see a baseball team penalized for too many men on the field?
Jim Bouton
Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer.
Ted Williams
Many baseball fans look upon an umpire as a sort of necessary evil to the luxury of baseball, like the odor that follows an automobile.
Christy Mathewson
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.
Nolan Ryan
I played baseball because I could make more money doing that than I could doing anything else.
Bill Terry
Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball, the rules and realities of the game and do it by watching first some high-school or small-town teams.
Jacques Barzun
The hardest thing to believe about The Fan is not that Robert De Niro is stalking somebody again but that anyone cares that much about a baseball player.
Bernie Lincicome
It's a pretty sure thing that the player's bat is what speaks loudest when it's contract time, but there are moments when the glove has the last word.
Brooks Robinson
Watching baseball under the lights is like observing dogs indoors, at a pedigree show. In both instances, the environment is too controlled to suit the species.
Melvin Maddocks
There are three things you can do in a baseball game. You can win, or you can lose, or it can rain.
Casey Stengel
I don't think baseball owes colored people anything. I don't think colored people owe baseball anything, either.
Bob Feller
Baseball is a man maker.
Al Spalding
Professional baseball is on the wane. Salaries must come down or the interest of the public must be increased in some way.
Al Spalding
It's a bottom line business where a lot of gray suits are brought in and then, within two years, these guys suddenly know everything about baseball.
Don Drysdale
A baseball manager is a necessary evil.
Sparky Anderson
In baseball, my theory is to strive for consistency, not to worry about the numbers. If you dwell on statistics you get shortsighted, if you aim for consistency, the numbers will be there at the end.
Tom Seaver
People who write about spring training not being necessary have never tried to throw a baseball.
Sandy Koufax
I think it puts baseball back on the map as a sport. It's America's pastime and just look at everyone coming out to the ballpark. It has been an exciting year.
Mark Mcgwire
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
Baseball is a public trust. Players turn over, owners turn over and certain commissioners turn over. But baseball goes on.
Peter Ueberroth
I'll play out the string and leave baseball without a tear. A man can't play games his whole life.
Brooks Robinson
If you put a baseball and other toys in front of a baby, he'll pick up a baseball in preference to the others.
Tris Speaker
The great thing about baseball is when you're done, you'll only tell your grandchildren the good things. If they ask me about 1989, I'll tell them I had amnesia.
Sparky Anderson
I'll tell you what's helped me my entire life. I look at baseball as a game. It's something where people can go out, enjoy and have fun. Nothing more.
Harry Caray
The way I figured it, I was even with baseball and baseball with me. The game had done much for me, and I had done much for it.
Jackie Robinson
Guessing what the pitcher is going to throw is eighty percent of being a successful hitter. The other twenty percent is just execution.
Hank Aaron
The triple is the most exciting play in baseball. Home runs win a lot of games, but I never understood why fans are so obsessed with them.
Hank Aaron
Baseball is a simple game. If you have good players and if you keep them in the right frame of mind then the manager is a success.
Sparky Anderson
Baseball, it is said, is only a game. True. And the Grand Canyon is only a hole in Arizona. Not all holes, or games, are created equal.
George F. Will
I was showing early symptoms of becoming a professional baseball man. I was lying to the press.
Roger Kahn
Baseball gives every American boy a chance to excel, not just to be as good as someone else but to be better than someone else. This is the nature of man and the name of the game.
Ted Williams
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 damn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all.
Earl Weaver
For the parents of a Little Leaguer, a baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown into innings.
Earl Wilson
Awards mean a lot, but they don't say it all. The people in baseball mean more to me than statistics.
Ernie Banks
Baseball is like church. Many attend, few understand.

It's awful hard to repeat, but this weekend is what baseball is all about, ... Go Sox!

We've got a lot of baseball to go.
Joe Moulton
It's baseball. What can I say? Too much plate.

These kids are playing hustling baseball.
Lou Piniella
We hit the baseball well. I was proud of how they hit the ball Thursday.

Carlos Lee
He's been around baseball for a lot of years, and was a [baseball] trainer in Japan for six years.
Keith Dugger
Baseball is one of those games where if you do the right things, it will come back to you.
Tim Corbin
In this game of baseball, you live by the sword and die by it. You hit and get hit. Remember that.
Alvin Dark
Your swing is short all the way through it and [you] finish high. Baseball is the same thing -- short through and finish high.
Sal Colangelo
Never. Not middle school baseball. Not high school football. I never got cut.
Cla Meredith
It's just baseball. You always expect every team to go through this at one time or another.
Rickey Henderson
All of us had to go by that rule, damn it. If he did [bet on baseball], then fess up and come clean and he would be accepted back.
Dave Bristol
Baseball was a dream I gathered more splinters than hits.
Frank Perdue
Trust me, ... As a Red Sox fan, it wasn't about baseball. Somebody had to be the voice of the neighborhood.
Ann Crowley
It's all for the same thing, ... Kids playing baseball.
Darin Erstad
The genius of our institutions is democratic - baseball is a democratic game.

Russell Phillips
Baseball in this setting is much more intimate.
Dave Mcclenahan

I love baseball but this is the only game I get to see.
Maude Newkirk
We did a great job of taking care of the baseball.
