Baseball is a lot like life. The line drives are caught, the squibbers go for base hits. It's an unfair game." -

Ron Kanehl

Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer. 

Baseball is a game where a curve is an optical illusion, a screwball can be a pitch or a person, stealing is legal and you can spit anywhere you like except in the umpire's eye or on the ball. 

Good pitching will beat good hitting any time, and vice versa. 

Strikeouts are boring - besides that, they're fascist.  Throw some ground balls.  More democratic. 

Baseball is the only place in life where a sacrifice is really appreciated. 

No matter how good you are, you're going to lose one-third of your games.  No matter how bad you are you're going to win one-third of your games.  It's the other third that makes the difference. 

It ain't like football.  You can't make up no trick plays. 

The other sports are just sports.  Baseball is a love. 

Why does everybody stand up and sing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" when they're already there? 

I became a good pitcher when I stopped trying to make them miss the ball and started trying to make them hit it. 

Hitting is timing.  Pitching is upsetting timing. 

Don't forget to swing hard, in case you hit the ball. 

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

It never ceases to amaze me how many of baseball's wounds are self-inflicted.

 If you're not having fun in baseball, you miss the point of everything.

Any time you think you have the game conquered, the game will turn around and punch you right in the nose.

Hitting is timing, Pitching is upsetting timeing

There is NO crying in baseball

The hardest thing to do in baseball is to hit a round baseball with a round bat, squarely.

I'd rather be lucky than good.

A team is where a boy can prove his courage on his own. A gang is where a coward goes to hide.

"I'd walk through hell in a gasoline suit to play baseball."
