Baseball is not necessarily an obsessive-compulsive disorder, like washing your hands 100 times a day, but it's beginning to seem that way. We're reaching the point where you can be a truly dedicated, state-of-the-art fan or you can have a life. Take your pick.

As every golfer knows, no one ever lost his mind over one shot. It is rather the gradual process of shot after shot watching your score go to tatters - knowing that you have found a different way to bogey each hole.

Baseball is to our everyday experience what poetry often is to common speech — a slightly elevated and concentrated form.

Quarterbacks have to ask the crowd to quiet down. Pitchers never do.

I may be the only golfer never to have broken a single putter, if you don't count the one I twisted into a loop and threw into a bush.

A good umpire, like a good FBI agent, is never noticed if he is doing his job.

Baseball means Spring's Here. Football means Winter's Coming.
