Inspirational Sayings, Motivational Quotes, Great Words, Witty Proverbs
   Any baseball is beautiful. No other small package comes as close to the ideal in design and utility. It is a perfect object for a man's hand. Pick it up and it instantly suggests its purpose: it is meant to be thrown a considerable distance-thrown hard and with precision. Its feel and heft are the beginning of the sport's critical dimensions; if it were a fraction of an inch larger or smaller, a few centigrams heavier or lighter, the game of baseball would be utterly different Good Quote by

   Seen from this vantage point, the preoccupied fans below sometimes suggest a huddled, uncomplaining horde of immigrants stuffed into steerage on some endless voyage toward better luck-not an inappropriate image if we remind ourselves that this famous rustbucket, the good ship Cubbie, last dropped anchor in the shining harbor of the World Series in 1945 Wise Phrase by Roger Angell in Fortuity

   He seemed to have an obligation to hit Wise Phrase by Lou Brock

   A baseball club is part of the chemistry of the city. A game isn't just an athletic contest. It's a picnic, a kind of town meeting Famous Saying by Michael Burke

   This is a linear sport. Something happens and then something else happens, and then the next man comes up and digs in at the plate. Here's the pitch, and here, after a pause, is the next. There's time to write it down in your scorecard or notebook, and then perhaps to look about and reflect on what's starting to happen out there now. It's not much like the swirl and blur of hockey and basketball, or the highway crashes of the NFL Nice Word by

   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.  Wise Phrase by Reggie Jackson

   You know when you've got it made? When you get your name in the crossword puzzles Wise Phrase by Rocky Bridges

   Why certainly I'd like to have that fellow who hits a home run every time at bat, who strikes out every opposing batter when he's pitching, who throws strikes to any base or the plate when he's playing outfield and who's always thinking about two innings ahead just what he'll do to baffle the other team. Any manager would want a guy like that playing for him. The only trouble is to get him to put down his cup of beer and come down out of the stands and do those things Famous Saying by Danny Murtaugh

   Confucious say: Baseball wrong - man with four balls cannot walk.  Nice Word by Author Unknown

   I was such a dangerous hitter I even got intentional walks in batting practice.  Good Quote by Casey Stengel, 1967

   What is both surprising and delightful is that spectators are allowed, and even expected, to join in the vocal part of the game.... There is no reason why the field should not try to put the batsman off his stroke at the critical moment by neatly timed disparagements of his wife's fidelity and his mother's respectability.  Wise Phrase by George Bernard Shaw

   To have some idea what it's like, stand in the outside lane of a motorway, get your mate to drive his car at you at 95 mph and wait until he's 12 yards away, before you decide which way to jump.  Wise Phrase by Geoffrey Boycott, 1989, how a cricket batsman feels when facing a fast bowler

   [A knuckleball is] a curve ball that doesn't give a damn.  Famous Saying by Jimmy Cannon

   No game in the world is as tidy and dramatically neat as baseball, with cause and effect, crime and punishment, motive and result, so cleanly defined." - Paul Gallico through hell in a gasoline suit to keep playing baseball Nice Word by Pete Rose

   I exploit the greed of all hitters Meaningful Quotation by Lew Burdette

   The place was always cold, and I got the feeling that the fans would have enjoyed baseball more if it had been played with a hockey puck.  Wise Phrase by Andre Dawson, on Montreal

   It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone.  Famous Saying by A. Bartlett Giamatti, The Green Fields of the Mind, Yale Alumni Magazine, November 1977

   If a woman has to choose between catching a fly ball and saving an infant's life, she will choose to save the infant's life without even considering if there is a man on base slump. I just ain't hittin Nice Word by Yogi Berra
