Baseball is a good thing. Always was, always will be.

Our fans will get to see another guy that’s listed among the top few pitchers in college baseball that’s draft-eligible. He’s a guy who’s supposed to have electric stuff.

It’s an adjustment for sure. But baseball in any weather is baseball. I love it, can’t beat it. So I’ll play whenever they tell me to play.

There’s nothing bad that accrues from baseball.

But baseball was different. Schwartz thought of it as Homeric – not a scrum but a series of isolated contests. Batter versus pitcher, fielder versus ball. You couldn’t storm around, snorting and slapping people, the...

My first objective is to graduate. I definitely want to stay around the baseball field, maybe get into coaching and do it at the highest level I can.

I hope I get to continue with this because there is some unfinished business. I’m going to be in baseball for many more years, whether it is here or not. I’m not done. I’m confident...

They just had that one inning. That was a high school baseball inning. They got walks and errors and one hit. You don’t see a lot of teams stringing six and seven hits together to...

It’ll be baseball, and it’ll be guys that I know. I don’t think I’d ever catch up with the major leagues again -not that I’m that old or that slow.

The one thing I didn’t want to do was get into any type of jumpiness, … Any type of anything in my body besides just focus on the baseball. And it’s pretty calming to step...

That’s why he was here, to surrender himself to longing, to listen to his host recite the anecdotal texts, all the passed-down stories of bonehead plays and swirling brawls, the pitching duels that carried into...

While I’m no Major League Baseball prospect, I have thrown a few no-hitters in my day. And not only were there no hitters, there was also nobody there to catch.

A lot of people are scared off from fantasy baseball because they think it’s strictly for stats geeks. It’s hurt the growth. It should have grown at the same rate. We want to change that...

That’s just one to throw away in the trash, pick it up tomorrow and play solid baseball.

Loyal,” he tells me. St. Louis is a loyal town.

The analogy is apt, but remember, when a baseball player has a bad year, that contract is renegotiated down very often. And when you pay 30 times earnings for a tech company whose earnings eventually...

A couple guys need rest, … They’ve been playing a lot of baseball. I’ve got to give some guys a day off. That’s the reason why I made the lineup like that. Hey, I’ve got...

The division has a lot of good teams. Chicago is one of those teams. We have to play good baseball and try to do better if we want to catch them.

It was the kind of promise a father makes easily and sincerely, knowing at the same time that it will be impossible to keep. The truth of some promises is not as important as whether...

Look at the national furor it caused. If baseball is losing its hold on the people, why is everybody having a nervous breakdown because Rocker said some dumb things? I think baseball still has a...

Baseball in Italy is at a turning point. It can either take a big step forward and become really professional, or it can take two steps back.

I don’t rate them, I just hit them.

By any reasonable standard (i.e. he didn’t cheat), Aaron is one of the greatest sluggers in baseball history—and there shouldn’t even be a debate about who is baseball’s true all-time home run champion (again, no...

I’m a sports-watcher. I played football and baseball, coached baseball. So I watch those things.

And so, my beloved Kermit, my dear little Hussein, at the moment America changed forever, your father was wandering an ICBM-denuded watseland, nervously monitoring his radiation level, armed only with a baseball bat, a 10mm...

The movie was the life story of baseball pitcher Grover Cleveland Alexander, who begin his professional career with a Galesburg minor league team in the early teens,

This guy is a brilliant baseball mind. And as you get to know him, you’re going to see why I made the decision.

In baseball, my theory is to strive for consistency, not to worry about the numbers. If you dwell on statistics you get shortsighted, if you aim for consistency, the numbers will be there at the...

It is good competition and all six teams are good quality baseball teams. We always have wanted to do something like this and hope it can be an annual thing.

Baseball is a man maker.

New Rule: Don’t name your kid after a ballpark. Cubs fans Paul and Teri Fields have named their newborn son Wrigley. Wrigley Fields. A child is supposed to be an independent individual, not a means...

Anyone with talent can play in the Major Leagues; for someone like me to stay around as long as I did, I think that’s a much greater achievement.

I’m fired up. We’ve already taken groups to athletic events in Houston. Victoria is a baseball town. I think there’s lots of interest here.

For you, some of the media and press that follow baseball, it might have been a surprise. It’s normal for us. This is the way we play baseball in Cuba.

I’m just excited for my team. To get my team on a high level of playing baseball right now. We struggled of late. I couldn’t have asked for a better outing. It was really good.

This was a wonderful event. It went beyond all expectations. Baseball can be played at a world level. Perhaps we could see each other again in two years?

Back in the Eighties, I’d buy the biggest Benetton jumper I could find and would wear it long-sleeved, hanging off my shoulders, with a varsity jacket and a baseball cap on back to front with...

Ray. People will come, Ray. They’ll come to Iowa for reasons they can’t even fathom. They’ll turn up your driveway not knowing for sure why they’re doing it. They’ll arrive at your door as innocent...

Man, see, you should have picked up that bat and baseball and learned to play the game when we were trying to teach you. You ain’t going to make no money in journalism.

announce [our] presence with authority.

Today a pitcher gets fined if the umpire thinks he threw at a batter. In the olden days, the umpire didn’t have to take any courses in mind reading. The pitcher told you he was...

That really came at the right time for us. We just haven’t played real good baseball, and it’s tough with a young club when you have adversity early.

I wanted to play baseball!

You can’t take anything away from Central. This was a great game. It’s what high school baseball is all about.

On the surface, there is something peculiar about turning a portion of one’s happiness over to a collection of ballplayers, and perhaps more peculiar still is concerning oneself about ball games played decades before one’s...

There was a time we laughed at the old guys up on the hill. The ones who graduated a couple of years before us, and who would hang around the school and the ballpark still,...

…the Big Red Machine was exactly that—a freaking machine.

We have him as one of the top guys in all of baseball. He’s very sure-handed, consistent, with good range and he’s fun to watch play shortstop.

Baseball has traditionally possessed a wonderful lack of seriousness. The game’s best player, Babe Ruth, was a Rabelaisian fat man, and its most loved manager, Casey Stengel, spoke gibberish. In this lazy sport, only the...

A basketball or a baseball or a football will all break a window in different ways.
