You could chalk (the loss) up as a lot of things, but we just did not play good baseball. Why? I don’t know. But when you don’t play good baseball and you play a pretty...

Especially when you see Houston there. I love baseball, but I’m definitely watching football. Plus, I have to keep up with my guys.

More than any other American sport, baseball creates the magnetic, addictive illusion that it can almost be understood.

I started skating and I kind of liked it because I could run circles around the guys that wouldn’t pick me to play baseball.

I knew I wasn’t a baseball writer. I was scared to death. I really was afraid to talk to players, and I didn’t want to go into the press box because I thought I was...

You teach me baseball and I’ll teach you relativity. No, we must not. You will learn about relativity faster than I learn baseball.

Some books have too much tennis.Some books have too much baseball.Some books have too much boxing.Some books have too much horse.

Had we had a different system, I’m sure we would have gone through contraction just as baseball has done. Certainly Indianapolis and Buffalo and Green Bay, if they existed, would be somewhere else.

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

It’s not like fans will be sitting on their wallets if baseball players stop playing.

I do feel regret and feel sorry that they’re not here because it is wonderful baseball what you see in the U.S..

I watch baseball on TV like my cat watches the window. Somebody open the blinds so we can see better!

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...

Perhaps crossing the barriers of time has freed me.

Tampa Bay, like any other expansion team, toiled and persevered in its infancy—but today, minus the Devil, the Rays have become one of the most exciting teams in baseball.

Sometimes are feats aren’t so fabulous, they’re just dubious—but either way, they’re fun to talk about.

We may be the worst team in the history of college baseball with the bases loaded. We couldn’t move them.

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...

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.

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...
