I think about the cosmic snowball theory. A few million years from now the Sun will burn out and lose its gravitational pull. The Earth will turn into a giant snowball and be hurled through space. When that happens it won’t matter if I got this guy out. ~ Bill “Spaceman” Lee, Heroes of Baseball

I had to will my way through that game. Sometimes, it takes more than talent or more than a 95-mile-an-hour fastball. You have to will it. ~ Roger Clemens

I hate all hitters. I start a game mad and I stay that way until it's over. ~ Don Drysdale

Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball. ~ Jacques Barzun

The game itself is an autonomous game, but everybody is a part of it. No contribution is too small. ~ Joe Torre, Ground Rules for Winners

I think I wrote once that baseball in many ways is very much like reading. I said there are more bad books than bad ballgames, or maybe it was the other way around. I can't remember. ~ Roger Angell

The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don’t play together, the club won’t be worth a dime. ~ Babe Ruth

Purists maintain that if you go to a baseball game you will almost always see something you have never seen before. Unfortunately, it usually takes place in the stands. ~ Joe Queenan, True Believers

The only real game -- I think -- in the world is baseball. ~ Babe Ruth
