Talking to Yogi Berra about baseball is like talking to Homer about the Gods.

All play aspires to the condition of paradise...through play in all its forms...we hope to achieve a state that our larger Greco-Roman, Judeo- Christian culture has always known was lost. Where it exists, we do not know, although we always have envisioned it as a garden...always as removed, as an enclosed green place...Paradise is an ancient dream...It is a dream of ourselves as better than we are, back to what we were.

There's nothing bad that accrues from baseball.

The people of America care about baseball, not about your squalid little squabbles. Reassume your dignity and remember that you (players during the 1981 strike) are the temporary custodians of an enduring public trust.

It is not enough to offer a smorgasbord of courses. We must insure that students are not just eating at one end of the table.

My goal has been to encourage jointness, to push people to think of affiliations rather than to operate as solo entrepreneurs.

This is not the first time in my life where you know going into a job that you're going to hear in stereo what was wrong with what you did.
