I've got a lot of years to live after baseball and I would like to live them with the complete use of my body. (Sandy Koufax)
Baseball has all the money. View quote
Brett Hull
My mom, she wasn't like a baseball mother who knew everything about the game. She just wanted me to be happy with what I was doing. View quote
David Ortiz
Baseball is a skilled game. It's America's game -- it, and high taxes. View quote
Will Rogers
Baseball and American football and hockey are all ahead because they have a history. The MLS is kind of new. So hopefully, in time, and with players coming and trying to develop the game, and the U.S. team also doing well - at the last World Cup, they finished above England and created some buzz. View quote
Thierry Henry
My life as Mrs. Leo Durocher and baseball come first. View quote
Laraine Day
Baseball is not a lot of statistics to me. It's blood and tears. View quote
Laraine Day
It's the wild, wild West of baseball, and it just keeps getting wilder. View quote
Joe Kehoskie
Unfortunately, here in the Dominican, a lot of the time kids just quit school at 10, 11, 12 and play baseball full-time. It's great for the kids who make it because they become superstars and [make] millions of dollars in the big leagues. But for 98 kids out of a hundred, it results in a kid who is 18, 19 with no education. So it's kind of a win-lose here in the Dominican. View quote

Fidel Castro essentially forced these guys to leave Cuba. It wasn't really even a choice. It was either stay at home, be handed a broom and told 'have a nice life' or they could leave Cuba and continue playing baseball. View quote
Joe Kehoskie
In many if not most cases, Cuban players haven't been busts so much as they've been systematically over-hyped during the signing process, which led to unrealistic expectations around Major League Baseball and in the media. The vast majority of Cuba's truly elite players have either stayed in Cuba for their entire careers or left Cuba too late to have a meaningful MLB career. (Joe Kehoskie)
There's at least half a billion dollars [worth] of baseball players in Cuba right now and probably a lot more. View quote

Baseball happens to be a game of cumulative tension but football, basketball and hockey are played with hand grenades and machine guns. View quote
John Leonard
And I'd be lying if I told you that as a black man in baseball I hadn't gone through worse times than my teammates. View quote
Curt Flood
I guess you really have to understand who that person, who that Curt Flood was. I'm a child of the 60s. I'm a man of the 60s. During that period of time, this country was coming apart at the seams. We were in Southeast Asia...Good men were dying for America and for the Constitution. In the Southern part of the United States we were marching for civil rights and Dr. King had been assasinated, and we lost the Kennedys. And to think that merely because I was a professional baseball player, I could ignore what was going on outside the walls of Busch Stadium [was] truly hypocrisy, and now I found that all of those rights that these great Americans were dying for, I didn't have in my own profession.

Curt Flood
The great trouble with baseball today is that most of the players are in the game for the money and that's it, not for the love of it, the excitement of it, the thrill of it. View quote
Ty Cobb
Baseball was one-hundred percent of my life. View quote
Ty Cobb
When I began playing the game, baseball was about as gentlemanly as a kick in the crotch. View quote
Ty Cobb
I don't play fantasy baseball anymore now because it's too much work, and I feel like I have to hold myself up to such a high standard. I'm pretty serious about my fantasy football, though. View quote
Nate Silver
In baseball you have terrific data and you can be a lot more creative with it. View quote
Nate Silver
I was looking for something like baseball, where there's a lot of data and the competition was pretty low. That's when I discovered politics. (Nate Silver)
Any one game in baseball doesn't tell you that much, just as any one poll doesn't tell you that much. View quote
Nate Silver
A baseball bat could not have hit me harder than that smile did. I was sixteen years old. In that time, how many thousands of smiles had been aimed at me? so why did this one feel like the first? View quote
Jerry Spinelli
I'm not much interested in sport just as sport. I wouldn't be interested in making a golf film or baseball or fishing film. View quote
Robert Redford
This I (still) believe: Fire is not necessarily your friend. Neither are dogs. Things with lit fuses should not be held onto. Beware the savage croquet ball. If it is -30 out, put on a coat before you leave the house. Just because the snow keeps you from seeing other objects the objects do not cease to exist. Clotheslines are the enemy of the bicyclist. If you don't remember how you got on the ground or where the blood came from, don't get up right away. Gym teachers think it's funny to commit assault with a baseball so don't day-dream during PE even if they have you so far in the outfield there are DEW line posts on either side of you. All guns are loaded. So are many bows. Trebuchets are for outside use only... View quote
