This is a game to be savored, not gulped. There's time to discuss everything between pitches or between innings.

How can you be a sage if you're pretty? You can't get your wizard papers without wrinkles.

I was in the game for love. After all, where else can an old-timer with one leg, who can't hear or see, live like a king while doing the only thing I wanted to do?

I try not to kid myself. You know, I don't mind romancing someone else, but to fool yourself is pretty devastating and dangerous.
