I heard that in the United States the level of baseball was the highest in the world. So it was only natural that I would want to go there, as a baseball player.
Ichiro Suzuki

Baseball is more than a game. It's like life played out on a field.
Juliana Hatfield

I love baseball, and the door remains open.
Rafael Palmeiro

A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
Earl Wilson

My main objective is to prepare candidates for professional baseball; however, the majority of our graduates will go home as much better qualified amateurs.
Jim Evans

The vast majority of people who watch baseball can properly call 95% of all plays that happen on the field. My job is to teach you how to call the other 5%.
Jim Evans

No player in baseball history worked harder, suffered more, or did it better than Andre Dawson. He's the best I've ever seen.
Ryne Sandberg

But I'll tell you this, it started with my mother. I have to give her. God bless her and rest her soul. I had a good foundation at home, so when I was able to go off and do these things in baseball there was always support.
Dave Winfield

Is it in the best interest of baseball to sell beer in the ninth inning? Probably not. The rule has got to be more clearly defined. And then some process should be set up where the judge is not also the appeals judge.
George Steinbrenner

The student body was huge at UT and you had to mature pretty quick, very quick actually. I enjoyed it and it helped me a lot in my life in general - not only in the classroom but on the baseball field as well.
Roger Clemens

I think that's why I like baseball. There's something great about it - you're young, the pitcher's young and he's got this great arm, and he doesn't really realize anything about strategy.
Bruce McCulloch

There are several insights at the heart of the A's system that I think are wonderful for baseball. One, that it's a team game. That no one player is going to make that much of a difference to your team, so for god's sake don't go blow a quarter of your budget on one guy.
Michael Lewis

We used to play baseball back in that field and keep an eye out for the bulls.
Jim Fowler

If you're a singer you lose your voice. A baseball player loses his arm. A writer gets more knowledge, and if he's good, the older he gets, the better he writes.
Mickey Spillane

There are a lot of people who influenced me, nurtured me, helped me along the way. But I can just recall looking back, the first time I got my baseball glove. Put it on the wrong hand, all those kind of things.
Dave Winfield

I started skating and I kind of liked it because I could run circles around the guys that wouldn't pick me to play baseball.
Scott Hamilton

Kids are our future, and we hope baseball has given them some idea of what it is to live together and how we can get along, whether you be black or white.
Larry Doby

In over 160 years of recorded baseball history, no team had ever won a championship this way.
John Thorn

You know that a given in life in human nature, is that at a sporting event, a baseball game, a football game, you never introduce a politician, is because he'll be booed. I don't care if he's the most beloved person in the world, its part of the game.
Mark Russell

In life, so many things are taken for granted, but one thing I can honestly say is that I took every day, enjoyed the game of putting on that uniform and playing the great game of baseball.
Wade Boggs
