BASEBALL QUOTES
.
There is an old Scottish proverb that says, 'I am wounded but I am not slain. I shall lay me down and bleed a while, then I shall rise and fight again.' That should be the feeling of all of the Yankees. - Owner George Steinbrenner (after losing the ALDS in 2002)
.
I'm convinced that every boy, in his heart, would rather steal second base than an automobile. - Tom Clark
.
.
Here is one place where caste is lost. Ragamuffins and velvet-breeched, white-collar boys stand in that equality which augurs well for the future of the stars and stripes. Dainty clothes are no bar to the game if their owner is not afraid to soil them. - Zane Grey
.
Every player, in his secret heart, wants to manage someday. Every fan, in the privacy of his mind, already does. - Leonard Koppett
.
Good fielding and pitching, without hitting, or vice versa, is like Ben Franklin's half pair of scissors - ineffectual. - Moe Berg
.
Playing without the fundamentals is like eating without a knife and fork. You make a mess. - Dick Williams
.
When you think about it, a home run is a mistake. The idea is to hit the ball hard, on a line, so the defense can't react to it. Hit it high in the air, which is how most home runs are hit, and most of the time it will be caught. It's a mistake. - Matt Williams
.
Love America and hate baseball? Hate America and love baseball? Neither is possible, except in the abstract. - John Krich
.
Any time you think you have the game conquered the game will turn around and punch you right in the nose. - Mike Schmidt
.
The majority of American males put themselves to sleep by striking out the batting order of the New York Yankees. - James Thurber
.
Back then, my idol was Bugs Bunny, because I saw a cartoon of him playing ball - you know, the one where he plays every position himself with nobody else on the field but him? Now that I think of it, Bugs is still my idol. You have to love a ballplayer like that. - Nomar Garciaparra
.
Baseball is a skilled game. It's America's game -- it, and high taxes.- Will Rogers
.
Little League baseball is a very good thing because it keeps the parents off the streets. - Yogi Berra
