CARL MAYS-
Championship baseball teams are not founded on bats. They're built on a backbone of catching, pitching, a second-base combination and a center fielder.
ROCKY BRIDGES -
There are three things the average man thinks he can do better than anyone else: build a fire, run a hotel and manage a baseball team.
HANK AARON -
"I never thought home runs were all that exciting. I still think the triple is the most exciting thing in baseball. To me, a triple is like a guy taking the ball on his 1-yard line and running 99 yards for a touchdown."
YOGI BERRA -
"It ain't over till it's over."
"Baseball is ninety percent mental. The other half is physical."
"Slump ? I ain't in no slump. I just ain't hittin."
ROY CAMPANELLA -
"You gotta be a man to play baseball for a living, but you gotta have a lot of little boy in you."
JOE DIMAGGIO -
"You look forward to it (Opening Day) like a birthday party when you're a kid. You think something wonderful is going to happen."
BOB FELLER -
"Every day is a new opportunity. You can build on yesterday's success or put its failures behind and start over again. That's the way life is, with a new game every day, and that's the way baseball is."
PETE ROSE -
"You owe it to yourself to be the best you can possible be - in baseball and in life."
BABE RUTH -
"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."
"It’s hard to beat a person who never gives up."
"Never let the fear of striking out get in your way."
"Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world."
NOLAN RYAN -
"One of the beautiful things about baseball is that every once in a while you come into a situation where you want to, and where you have to, reach down and prove something."
TED WILLIAMS -
"Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer."
"Hitting is fifty percent above the shoulders."
"Just keep going. Everybody gets better if they keep at it."
ROGERS HORNSBY -
"People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do, I stare out the window and wait for spring."
