I tell you what, I was so shocked because I didn't think the ball had enough to get out. It's an absolutely incredible feeling. I can honestly say I did it.
Mark McGwire

In the split second from the time the ball leaves the pitcher's hand until it reaches the plate you have to think about your stride, your hip action, your wrist action, determine how much, if any the ball is going to break and then decide whether to swing at it.
Duke Snider

I think we match up with anybody because our pitching. In a short series you run your big three out there or four out there. That generally is what wins a series - pitching and defense. If we can catch the ball and not give away any runs like we do sometimes.
Dusty Baker

If I would be happy, I would be a very bad ball player. With me, when I get mad, it puts energy in my body.
Roberto Clemente

Keep your eye on the ball.
Ford Frick

My son walked up to Nicole on the beach and I was throwing the ball for the dogs in the ocean. I was like, 'Max, you get the dogs. I'll talk to the hot blondes.'
John C. McGinley

I love playing football, being out on the pitch with a ball, and I will be a little sad when that ends.
Dennis Bergkamp

In 1986, we gave it our best shot but we didn't get the run of the ball.
Michel Patini

But I don't really care for directors flaring up and trying to humble some actor, which they would do to try and make an example out of them so everybody else would stay on the ball - and David wasn't anything like that.
Richard Farnsworth

But through experience I learned to control my body and locate the ball.
Dennis Eckersley

Rushing the ball is all about ball control. If you run the ball, you control the clock. If you control the clock, you usually control the game.
Tiki Barber

I'm just generally hugely frustrated, I'm a very, very frustrated man. I'm just a ball of pent-up frustration.
Allan Carr

No one hit home runs the way Babe did. They were something special. They were like homing pigeons. The ball would leave the bat, pause briefly, suddenly gain its bearings, then take off for the stands.
Lefty Gomez

I think it is an inborn talent - just luck. Some people can learn languages; some can throw a ball. Most people have something. My talent is drawing and painting.
Mike Thompson

When I pick up the ball and it feels nice and light and small I know I'm going to have a good day. But if I picked it up and it's big and heavy, I know I'm liable to get into a little trouble.
Bob Feller

You know, I was crap. But I had the commitment, and I had the understanding, that the basis of football is skill on the ball, and if you spend the time with it, you're gonna reap the rewards.
Craig Johnston

I like the ball in a big game. I'm not afraid to take it.
David Wells

The challenge for me has first been to see things as they are, whether a portrait, a city street, or a bouncing ball. In a word, I have tried to be objective.
Berenice Abbott

The first thing I think of when I hear the name of Lucille Ball is a Hollywood legend. I have fond memories of growing up at her house, but she was a different person off the set than she was on the set.
Keith Thibodeaux

I feel that every time I get the ball at the moment I am going to score.
Michael J. Owen
