People are talking of his susceptibility to the rising delivery, but let me tell you that when you are out of form, every ball looks like a hand grenade.
David Gower

The cast called her Lucy, but everyone else called her Mrs. Ball. She was honest with people. If she liked you, you knew it. If she didn't, you knew it, also.
Keith Thibodeaux

I met Hilary Vaughan at a Student Ball in 1944 and we married in the summer of 1946, as soon as I graduated.
James W. Black

I had dreams of catching the ball for the final out in the World Series and being mobbed by my teammates. Well, I guess all my dreams didn't come true.

I usually stick out my hand and hope he puts the ball in it. Except the one time I went out to take Early Wynn out. I stuck out my hand and he hit me right in the stomach with the ball.
Al Lopez

It was funny, when I thought of it afterward, how Ruth and Gehrig looked as they stood there. The Babe must have been waiting for me to get the ball up a little so he could get his bat under it.
Carl Hubbell

All we can do is play ball. Every time we go out on the field, we do what we do in America - live in the freedom that our country affords us.
Tim Salmon

One way and another I was having a ball - playing gigs, jamming and listening to fine musicians. Then came a crisis at home. My stepfather fell sick, and it meant I had to support the family.
Mary Lou Williams

I became a good pitcher when I stopped trying to make them miss the ball and started trying to make them hit it.

Henry Chadwick

The true harbinger of spring is not crocuses or swallows returning to Capistrano, but the sound of the bat on the ball.

What a ball from Frank. Frank and I go back years. He used to do that when I was at Ajax.
Dennis Bergkamp

Some of the onus falls on us to make ourselves available for the ball, because we need to play inside-out. That's when we're at our best.
Steven Hill

Building a mechanical device for its appearance is like putting lace on a bowling ball.
Andrew Vachss

Hit the ball pretty solid. Haven't played a lot of golf this year, so was really unsure of what it would be like. I've been playing pretty well lately, especially hitting the ball solid.
Trent Dilfer

The Ball no question makes of Ayes and Noes, But Here or There as strikes the Player goes.
Edward Fitzgerald

These greens are so fast I have to hold my putter over the ball and hit it with the shadow.
Sam Snead

I was not able to understand how it could be right to pay an actor, or a singer, or an instrumentalist for entertaining the public and wrong to pay a ball player for doing exactly the same thing.
Al Spalding

As far as a guy like Ray Lewis is concerned, you know he's going to be around the ball all the time.

The greens are so fast I have to hold my putter over the ball and hit it with the shadow.
