“He wants to score. And it's like a guy in football, or a guy in baseball that wants to hit the big home run or do the big touchdown pass. He wants to be the guy and I think that separates him from some other guys.”
Bill McDonald
“Baseball and football are very different games. In a way, both of them are easy. Football is easy if you're crazy as hell. Baseball is easy if you've got patience. They'd both be easier for me if I were a little more crazy - and a little more patient.”
Bo Jackson
“Baseball is what we were, and football is what we have become”
Mary McGrory
“I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game.”
Walt Whitman
“We are inclined to think that if we watch a football game or a baseball game, we have taken part in it”
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
“I am alarmed at the subtle invasion of professional football, which is gaining preeminence over baseball. It's unthinkable.”
Branch Rickey
“Baseball happens to be a game of cumulative tension but football, basketball and hockey are played with hand grenades and machine guns.”
John Leonard
