Baseball is like church. Many attend few understand.
In the olden days, the umpire didn't have to take any courses in mind reading. The pitcher told you he was going to throw at you.
As long as I've got one chance to beat you I'm going to take it.
It is decidedly not true that 'nice guys finish last'.
Show me a good sportsman and I'll show you a player I'm looking to trade.
Some guys are admired for coming to play, as the saying goes. I prefer those who come to kill.
