Baseball life is a tough life on the family.
Nolan Ryan

And when I retired, trust me, not only did Nolan Ryan, but the entire Ryan family had withdrawals from baseball. And it was tough.

I can honestly say it took two full years for me to get over the fact that I was no longer a baseball player.

One night I went over to get some dope from some Hollywood tough guy. After I left, my son Scott, who was only fifteen, went over with a baseball bat to kill him. I was laughing out of one eye and crying out of the other. I thought, Who am I kidding?
James Caan

We're the best team in baseball, but not by much.
Sparky Anderson

The great thing about baseball is when you're done, you'll only tell your grandchildren the good things. If they ask me about 1989, I'll tell them I had amnesia.

Casey knew his baseball. He only made it look like he was fooling around. He knew every move that was ever invented and some that we haven't even caught on to yet.

Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer.
Ted Williams

There has always been a saying in baseball that you can't make a hitter, but I think you can improve a hitter. More than you can improve a fielder. More mistakes are made hitting than in any other part of the game.
Ted Williams

Baseball gives every American boy a chance to excel, not just to be as good as someone else but to be better than someone else. This is the nature of man and the name of the game.
Ted Williams

Baseball's future? Bigger and bigger, better and better! No question about it, it's the greatest game there is!
Ted Williams

I don't know anything about baseball.
Sean Connery

I was born to hit a baseball. I can hit a baseball.
Barry Bonds

Baseball is just my job.
Barry Bonds

I think some of the pressure comes from the expectations of other people. Like if your father played baseball, they expect you to be the big lifesaver or something when you play a sport.
Barry Bonds

I don't know what you guys say, but at home, life is way different from baseball.
Barry Bonds

Young players need to know how to take care of themselves for life after baseball.
