Worry is simply thinking the same thing over and over again and not doing anything about it.

A great ballplayer is a player who will take a chance.

These are uncertain times. We cannot be content to rest on yesterday's laurels. These are times when we must strengthen rather than let down those standards which have stood in such good stead in crises that are past. Baseball cannot be selfish, or irresponsible, or lax. Neither can the men who operate it.

We win if the world is convinced of two things, that you are a fine gentleman, and a great baseball player.

I am alarmed at the subtle invasion of professional football, which is gaining preeminence over baseball. It's unthinkable.

Baseball is a game of inches.
