“The only thing I can do is play baseball. I have to play ball. It's the only thing I know.”
Mickey Mantle
“We've talked about having a swagger. But when you play .350 baseball, or whatever we played, you can't tell yourself to have that swagger. You have to go out there and produce to have it. When you show you can come back and get big hits, then it shows that it's possible. I think it definitely snowballs.”
Dave Roberts
“He was their shortstop. He played shortstop as a sophomore and junior. He didn't play baseball as a senior because of football.”
Craig Trychel
“We played good tonight. But sometimes in baseball, you play well enough to win but lose.”
Dan Garofano
“Every player should be accorded the privilege of at least one season with the Chicago Cubs. That's baseball as it should be played - in God's own sunshine. And that's really living.”
Alvin Dark
“The triple is the most exciting play in baseball. Home runs win a lot of games, but I never understood why fans are so obsessed with them.”
Hank Aaron
“I'll play out the string and leave baseball without a tear. A man can't play games his whole life.”
Brooks Robinson
