See the ball; hit the ball.
Pete Rose

It's a round ball and a round bat, and you got to hit it square.
Pete Rose

We're not running the ball again until we get ahead. Shula was calling the plays, but I told them, 'I don't care what he calls. We're throwing every pass from now until we get the lead.' To Shula's credit, he always gave me that option.
Dan Marino

I know I've got to just keep throwing the ball. That's what I do best.
Dan Marino

The ball whizzes past like a bumblebee and the Indians are in the sea.
Navjot Singh Sidhu

Be bold. If you're going to make an error, make a doozy, and don't be afraid to hit the ball.
Billie Jean King

It's not like learning how to hit a curve ball in baseball.
Floyd Abrams

You can dominate a game if you dominate on the line... We're just going to have to go out there and work hard and blow people off the ball, and let our runners do what they do best.
Miles Davis

You are meant to play the ball as it lies, a fact that may help to touch on your own objective approach to life.
Grantland Rice

Fortunately, it doesn't seem to have made a lot of difference to my audience that I'm as bald as a billiard ball!
James Taylor

My idea of managing is giving the ball to Tom Seaver and sitting down and watching him work.
Sparky Anderson

While all the other kids were out playing ball and stuff, I used to stay in my room and imagine that there was a camera in the wall. And I used to really believe that I was putting on a television show and that it was going out to somewhere in the world.
Andy Kaufman

It just wasn't right the way they were behind by 25 points and then they're told to hold the ball.
Wilt Chamberlain

They were so clever finding ways to get me the ball. They had to do more than just give up open shots. They had to avoid fouls and pass me the ball in traffic.
Wilt Chamberlain

Football is a simple game based on the giving and taking of passes, of controlling the ball and of making yourself available to receive a pass. It is terribly simple.
Bill Shankly

What a great day for football, all we need is some green grass and a ball.
Bill Shankly

It was kind of ridiculous to carry it up to a certain point and then drop the ball or the bomb, like quitting the band right after we had signed to Virgin.
Elliott Smith

Training's completely different now. It used to be a lot of running and work without the ball. Now it's all with the ball, which any player loves.
Frank Lampard

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

In the building I live in on Park Avenue there are ten people who could buy the Yankees, but none of them could hit the ball out of Yankee Stadium.
Reggie Jackson
