“Opera in English is, in the main, about as sensible as baseball in Italian.”
Henry Louis Mencken
“Baseball plays out like an opera,”
Paul Dickson
“We were born with baseball in our blood. It's more than just a sport. It's a passion. It's an opera. It's just a way of being. It's almost like breathing.”
Omar Minaya
“Opera in English is, in the main, just about as sensible as baseball in Italian.”
“Baseball is a soap opera that plays out day after day, one that a lot of elderly women watch until the characters and the plot becomes a part of their life. She got to enjoy the personal side of the players. They were her kids. The Braves were her family.”
Bob Hope
“There's no half-singing in the shower, you're either a rock star or an opera diva.”
Josh Groban
“The taxpayers cannot be relied upon to support performing arts such as opera. As a taxpayer, I am forced to admit that I would rather undergo a vasectomy via Weed Whacker than attend an opera.”
Dave Barry
