October, that's when they pay off for playing ball.
Reggie Jackson

Golf... is the infallible test. The man who can go into a patch of rough alone, with the knowledge that only God is watching him, and play his ball where it lies, is the man who will serve you faithfully and well.
P. G. Wodehouse

I never played with a runner in my entire life, even in schools, because only I know where the ball is going and how hard, when I hit the ball, something my runner will never know about.
Sachin Tendulkar

I just keep it simple. Watch the ball and play it on merit.
Sachin Tendulkar

Welcome to the Salvation Army. I've never been associated with an offense so nice about giving the ball away.
Hayden Fry

But I was so wrapped up in sports growing up as a kid, that I think I was going to grow to be a pro ball player. But I found out real quick that was not going to happen.
Tim McGraw

When the ball dropped in 1999, I was holding dough and champagne in my hands and holding my kids.
Method Man

A ball had passed between my body and the right arm which supported him, cutting through the sleeve and passing through his chest from shoulder to shoulder. There was no more to be done for him and I left him to his rest. I have never mended that hole in my sleeve.
Clara Barton

Ross Perot. I could have had a ball with him.
Rich Little

How ironic, to be my last game that I ever played would be against Dan in a Super Bowl. The thing I always was afraid of was playing in a Super Bowl when it was raining. I can't throw a wet ball.
John Elway

How you play the game is for college ball. When you're playing for money, winning is the only thing that matters.
Leo Durocher

So along with that is spending a lot of time with the ball. For me it was, I loved to juggle the ball in my front yard, and I always challenged myself - how many juggles can I get today? I think for players to get better, it's just about spending the time.
Brandi Chastain

I was the kid who always liked to take the ball down to the school even in my free time, kick it against the wall, juggle it in the front yard and so it was kind of a perpetual state of playing soccer for me.
Brandi Chastain

The reason people like to watch ball games is because they don't really know exactly what's going to happen from moment to moment. That's why you watch the entire thing.
Isaac Mizrahi

In sixth grade, my basketball team made it to the league championships. In double overtime, with three seconds left, I rebounded the ball and passed it - to the wrong team! They scored at the buzzer and we lost the game. To this day, I still have nightmares!
Zac Efron

I always enjoyed playing ball, and it didn't matter to me whether I played with white kids or black. I never understood why an issue was made of who I played with, and I never felt comfortable, when I grew up, telling other people how to act.
Willie Mays

They throw the ball, I hit it. They hit the ball, I catch it.
Willie Mays

At ten I was playing against 18-year-old guys. At 15 I was playing professional ball with the Birmingham Black Barons, so I really came very quickly in all sports.
Willie Mays

When I got to professional ball I used to play 150 games every year. It depends on how many games there was.
Willie Mays

Maybe I was born to play ball. Maybe I truly was.
