“There has always been a saying in baseball that you can't make a hitter, but I think you can improve a hitter. More than you can improve a fielder. More mistakes are made hitting than in any other part of the game.”
Ted Williams
“Baseball is a game, yes. It is also a business. But what is most truly is is disguised combat. For all its gentility, its almost leisurely pace, baseball is violence under wraps.”
Willie Mays
“No other game combines the wonder of nature with the discipline of sport in such carefully planned ways. A great golf course both frees and challenges a golfer's mind.”
Tom Watson
“Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world.”
Babe Ruth
“There is no such thing as a natural touch. Touch is something you create by hitting millions of golf balls.”
Lee Trevino
“When a man wants to murder a tiger, it's called sport; when the tiger wants to murder him it's called ferocity.”
George Bernard Shaw
“Although golf was originally restricted to wealthy, overweight Protestants, today it's open to anybody who owns hideous clothing.”
Dave Barry
“It is nothing new or original to say that golf is played one stroke at a time. But it took me many years to realize it.”
Bobby Jones
“Midshipmen and cadets remain stronger and more aggressive than their male counterparts at civilian schools. They eagerly play sports such as rugby, boxing, karate, lacrosse, and football. They drive fast cars, usually sports cars. They play hard. They drink hard. They are physical, often abusive among each other. They are not trying to prove their manhood: they are celebrating their masculinity. They are competitive, often vulgar, and tough, and every citizen who may someday send a friend or relative into war should rejoice, because combat is competitive, vulgar, and tough, and they will be leading men in combat.”
James Webb
“A particular shot or way of moving the ball can be a player's personal signature, but efficiency of performance is what wins the game for the team.”
