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

Every baseball crowd, like every theatre audience, has its own distinctive attitude and atmosphere.

If you can't outsmart people, outwork them.

Baseball is a boy's game that makes grown men cry.

Baseball is almost the only orderly thing in a very unorderly world. If you get three strikes, even the best lawyer in the world can't get you off.

Baseball is the only game left for people. To play basketball, you have to be 7 feet 6 inches. To play football, you have to be the same width.

I don't break the rules. I merely test their elasticity.
