He has the body of a professional athlete, chiseled to perfection in all the right places.

I hope I never do anything to hurt baseball.

Probably the reason the NY Yankees want to move their farm team to Ocala is to recruit me. I am the Babe Ruth of farming.

Baseball, of all sports, and maybe of all human endeavors, has no room for cynicism.

In addition to meeting with clubs to discuss trade possibilities, we do expect our baseball operations staff will have conversations with agents for several of our current free agents as well as representatives for other...

Leaving Boston was not easy. It was a high level of passion to win, a unique rivalry, a baseball operations staff which was a great, great place to work. That’s what I need to learn...

This is what it’s all about — baseball in the fall,

I have a life besides baseball. This isn’t my life. I play because I can. A lot of people say Milton Bradley is a good person. I’m trying to be a good person. But anybody...

We need to get back to playing our kind of baseball. We need to get every kid confident.

Pensacola has always been a baseball town. I want us to play as much here as possible. We want to put a good product on the field.

On days like this, baseball would make Michael as happy as it ever did. No umpires. No coaches. No rules except the ones you made up.

When I was growing up, it seemed like it was probably the most realistic movie about baseball life. Now that I’ve lived it, I can say that it is the most accurate.

Ted Williams hit 17 career grand slams. He is the toughest batter to get out in major league history. It was never fun for opposing pitchers to have to face him, but that was never...

I’m in charge? Okay, you’re traded. We’re putting Jim Baba (Baseball Canada director) in goal next game.

You can say, ‘Well, if they tore down Fenway Park, we can build a new one.’ But you wouldn’t build it right. It’s better to make the accommodations, to save the old ballparks. If Fenway...

You want a piece of me?

I told John if he wanted to go back into baseball that I wouldn’t stand in his way, but that he has an important role with us. I told Frank he was welcome to talk...

The good rising fastball is the best pitch in baseball.

Hopefully we can have a true home-field advantage, have a good crowd and create as good a college baseball atmosphere as possible.

Baseball gives a growing boy self poise and self reliance.

Our baseball fans are tremendously excited about this event. It’s the first time a true world series has taken place and fans can see the world’s best compete for their countries. When it comes to...

He just thinks about baseball. He said he doesn’t go out. He just wants to go to the ballpark.

Who knows how the rest of baseball views you? … I can go home and sleep and know that we used tremendous character to get through this season.

This is Cuban baseball. Cuba is not gone. We’re still here to play and whoever wants to beat Cuba will have to sweat it out.

It’s kind of like, if I wasn’t in the game, if I wasn’t even part of professional baseball, if it wasn’t my job, I’d be excited just for the area. Just knowing we’re going to...

The thing I like about baseball is that it’s one-on-one. You stand up there alone, and if you make a mistake, it’s your mistake. If you hit a home run, it’s your home run.

It’s kind of ironic. It was harder to keep baseball than it was to get baseball.

Baseball had record crowds last year. Probably with Barry going to break the [home run] record, it will bump it up and more people will come out and watch it. That makes players more popular,...

That’s sounds right. Another $5,000 went to dress up the Little League park where he had played so many games. Seems like he paid off the MORTAGE on his parents’ home, which wasn’t that much.

They always say the most important pitch in baseball is Strike 1. It’s even more important now.

I had no other interests but baseball because I never thought I’d not make it. No. Never.

Being a parent is like being a catcher. You gotta handle whatever is thrown your way.

I never liked baseball. Too much sitting around for me.

We haven’t been playing our best baseball. Everyone here wants to turn it around, and we think we can.

Since Red Sox fans are so intense and baseball’s a long, 162-game season, it helped that this team was as loose as it was, … If this team was as intense as its fans, it...

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

Like I always say, I’m just glad to be in the lineup, playing baseball.

This was a new recognition that perfection is admirable but a trifle inhuman, and that a stumbling kind of semi-success can be much more warming. Most of all, perhaps, these exultant yells for the Mets...

It was a great baseball game,

Nowadays, they have more trouble packing hair dryers than baseball equipment.

We look forward to sitting back at the table with minor league baseball.

Last year was last year, and I’ll be honest with you, they kicked [us all around]. This is a new year. Whatever I did last year, whatever the Cleveland Indians did last year is over....

Just like baseball, it’s not all going to happen overnight. We are paving the way right now for the future teams, and there is no reason we can’t go to a regional or super regional,...
