Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer.
Tom Clark
I'm convinced that every boy, in his heart, would rather steal second base than an automobile.
Roy Campanella
You gotta be a man to play baseball for a living, but you gotta have a lot of little boy in you, too.
Earl Wilson
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
Phil Linz
Baseball is a fun game. It beats working for a living.
Jim Murray
Baseball is a game where a curve is an optical illusion, a screwball can be a pitch or a person, stealing is legal and you can spit anywhere you like except in the umpire's eye or on the ball.
Ken Harrelson
Baseball is the only sport I know that when you're on offense, the other team controls the ball.
Reggie Jackson
Every hitter likes fastballs, just like everybody likes ice cream. But you don't like it when someone's stuffing it into you by the gallon. That's what it feels like when Nolan Ryan's thrown balls by you.
Bill Veeck
Baseball is almost the only orderly thing in a very unorderly world. If you get three strikes, even the best lawyer in the world can't get you off.
Yogi Berra
Baseball is ninety percent mental and the other half is physical.
Nolan Ryan
One of the beautiful things about baseball is that every once in a while you come into a situation where you want to, and where you have to, reach down and prove something.
Tom Seaver
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 end.
