Like a baseball game, wars are not over till they are over. Wars don't run on a clock like football. No previous generation was so hopelessly unrealistic that this had to be explained to them.
Thomas Sowell

Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world.
Babe Ruth

Baseball changes through the years. It gets milder.
Babe Ruth

If it wasn't for baseball, I'd be in either the penitentiary or the cemetery.
Babe Ruth

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

For the parents of a Little Leaguer, a baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown into innings.
Earl Wilson

I am a hero worshiper. I love the number one tennis player. I love the number one baseball player. I want to see those records broken.
Martha Stewart

I don't know anything about baseball.
Sean Connery

The Statue of Liberty is no longer saying, 'Give me your poor, your tired, your huddled masses.' She's got a baseball bat and yelling, 'You want a piece of me?'
Robin Williams

Cricket is basically baseball on valium.
Robin Williams

It was all I lived for, to play baseball.
Mickey Mantle

Well, baseball was my whole life. Nothing's ever been as fun as baseball.
Mickey Mantle

The only thing I can do is play baseball. I have to play ball. It's the only thing I know.
Mickey Mantle

As far as I'm concerned, Aaron is the best ball player of my era. He is to baseball of the last fifteen years what Joe DiMaggio was before him. He's never received the credit he's due.
Mickey Mantle

I'll play baseball for the Army or fight for it, whatever they want me to do.
Mickey Mantle

I always get very calm with baseball.
Paul Simon

I chose baseball because to me baseball is the best game of all.
Dave Winfield

And I found out, the other part of it is that I found out and in my desire to life successfully, that baseball fit very well into my life. It's been a great teacher, trainer, mentor and you'll see what I mean in the next few minutes that I have to speak.
Dave Winfield

To give you an idea what it feels like to be going in with some of the best baseball players of all-time, I mean it is fantastic. I have to say this about them, there are so many of these guys up here that were my role models, people I looked up to, people I wanted to be like.
Dave Winfield

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.
