If a woman has to choose between catching a fly ball and saving infants life she will choose to save the infants life without even considering if there is a man on base.
When I was a small boy growing up in Kansas a friend of mine and I went fishing and as we sat there in the warmth of a summer afternoon on a riverbank we talked about what we wanted to do when we grew up. I told him that I wanted to be a real major-league baseball player a genuine professional like Honus Wagner. My friend said that hed like to be President of the United States. Neither of us got our wish.
I think there are only three things America will be known for 2000 years from now when they study this civilization: the Constitution jazz music and baseball.
When I played ball I didnt play for fun… Its no pink tea and mollycoddles had better stay out. Its a contest and everything that implies a struggle for supremacy a survival of the fittest.
These are the saddest of possible words Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance. Trio of Bear Cubs fleeter than birds Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance. Ruthlessly pricking our gonfalon bubble Making a Giant hit into a double Words that are weighty with nothing but trouble Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance. This brief poem immortalized the Chicago Cubs double-play combination: Shortstop Joe Tinker second baseman Johnny Evers and first baseman Frank Chance.

The guy with the biggest stomach will be the first to take off his shirt at a baseball game.
It took me seventeen years to get 3000 hits in baseball. I did it in one afternoon on the golf course.
Baseball players are smarter than football players. How often do you see a baseball team penalized for too many players on the field?
Fans dont boo nobodies.
Baseball is a lot like life. The line drives are caught the squibbles go for base hits. Its an unfair game.
Just take the ball and throw it where you want to. Throw strikes. Home plate dont move.
