I think 'Bat Out Of Hell' will probably last forever.
Max Weinberg

I touched Roger's bat and held it to my heart. My bat will lie next to his. I'm damn proud of that.
Mark McGwire

I was much entertained last summer with a tame bat, which would take flies out of a person's hand.
Gilbert White

I was the worst hitter ever. I never even broke a bat until last year when I was backing out of the garage.
Lefty Gomez

I won't be happy until we have every boy in America between the ages of six and sixteen wearing a glove and swinging a bat.
Babe Ruth

I'm not afraid to swing the bat. If they elect to pitch to me, I'm going to swing. I'm not as picky as Mr. Sheffield. I'll swing at something over my head.
Bobby Bonilla

I've always said when I broke in I was an average player. I had an average arm, average speed and definitely an average bat. I am still average in all of those.
Brooks Robinson

I've got a right to knock down anybody holding a bat.
Early Wynn

If a pitcher sees you fiddling with the bat, he'll stall until your arms are tired before you even get a chance to hit.
Paul Waner

If Trescothick had tried to get me off the field when batting well, I'd have hit him with my bat.
Geoffrey Boycott

It was funny, when I thought of it afterward, how Ruth and Gehrig looked as they stood there. The Babe must have been waiting for me to get the ball up a little so he could get his bat under it.
Carl Hubbell

It's a pretty sure thing that the player's bat is what speaks loudest when it's contract time, but there are moments when the glove has the last word.
Brooks Robinson

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

Let the pitcher move first, then, as he draws his arm back, you draw the bat back and you are ready.
Paul Waner

My pitching philosophy is simple - keep the ball way from the bat.
Satchel Paige

No man with a conscience can just bat out illustrations. He's got to put all his talent and feeling into them!
Norman Rockwell

No one hit home runs the way Babe did. They were something special. They were like homing pigeons. The ball would leave the bat, pause briefly, suddenly gain its bearings, then take off for the stands.
Lefty Gomez

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

The American boy starts swinging the bat about as soon as he can lift one.
Tris Speaker

The bat is gone, but the smile remains.
Willie Stargell
