“I played baseball, and that's pretty much it. Basketball came late, this was, basketball was the sport that I tried to master, I kind of mastered baseball, so basketball was one of those things where I wanted to master this game, so that's why I probably play it the way I do.”
Eric Williams
“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 happens to be a game of cumulative tension but football, basketball and hockey are played with hand grenades and machine guns.”
John Leonard
“I have a whole museum almost. Baseball and basketball take up the bulk of it, and there's some football and a little bit of hockey.”
Penny Marshall
“I live in L.A., so I go to basketball games. But I love baseball.”
“Basketball, hockey and track meets are action heaped upon action, climax upon climax, until the onlooker's responses become deadened. Baseball is for the leisurely afternoons of summer and for the unchanging dreams.”
