“They don't realize how tired you get during a baseball season ... mentally tired, ... You need time to unwind.”
Lou Piniella
“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
“I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game.”
Walt Whitman
“Baseball is very big at the present time. This makes me think baseball will live longer than Casey Stengel or anybody else.”
Casey Stengel
“If you could equate the amount of time and effort put in mentally and physically into succeeding on the baseball field and measured it by the dirt on your uniform, mine would have been black.”
Mike Schmidt
“It really is amazing, especially when you consider the perfect time of year to play baseball here is June and July, not March and April, which is when the high school season is played. Our kids play under difficult circumstances sometimes. They have to be tough to play a doubleheader when it's 25 degrees outside. It's either get tough or get in the dugout. But I really believe that helps them when they get to the next level.”
Chris Healy
“Our baseball fans are tremendously excited about this event. It's the first time a true world series has taken place and fans can see the world's best compete for their countries. When it comes to national pride everybody likes to bet on the outcome. This event will really go a long way in finally determining who the real power is in baseball.”
