Watching a spring training game is as exciting as watching a tree form its annual ring.
baseball quotes by A. BARTLETT GIAMATTI-1460266157
It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone.
baseball quotes by JIM MURRAY-1460212267
The charm of baseball is that, dull as it may be on the field, it is endlessly fascinating as a rehash.
baseball quotes by BRUCE CATTON-1460140324
Say this much for big league baseball - it is beyond question the greatest conversation piece ever invented in America.
baseball quotes by ROBERT FROST-1460139100
Poets are like baseball pitchers. Both have their moments. The intervals are the tough things.
baseball quotes by BOB LEMON-1460135388
I don't care how long you've been around, you'll never see it all.
baseball quotes by JOE GARAGIOLA-1460133745
Nolan Ryan is pitching much better now that he has his curve ball straightened out.
baseball quotes by JIM BOUTON-1460123339
Baseball players are smarter than football players. How often do you see a baseball team penalized for too many men on the field?
baseball quotes by FROM THE MOVIEBULL DURHAM-1460122009
Strikeouts are boring - besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls. More democratic.
baseball quotes by REGGIE JACKSON-1460106155
Every hitter likes fastballs, just like everybody likes ice cream. But you don't like it when someone's stuffing it into you by the gallon. That's what it feels like when Nolan Ryan's thrown balls by you.
baseball quotes by DON DRYSDALE-1460096048
The pitcher has to find out if the hitter is timid. And if the hitter is timid, he has to remind the hitter he's timid.
baseball quotes by LAWRENCE RITTER-1460094507
The strongest thing that baseball has going for it today are its yesterdays.

Good pitching will beat good hitting any time, and vice versa.
baseball quotes by KEN HARRELSON-1460085475
Baseball is the only sport I know that when you're on offense, the other team controls the ball.
baseball quotes by JIM MURRAYTHE BEST OF JIM MURRAY-1460084200
Baseball is a game where a curve is an optical illusion, a screwball can be a pitch or a person, stealing is legal and you can spit anywhere you like except in the umpire's eye or on the ball.
baseball quotes by WOODY ALLEN-1460052635
When we played softball, I'd steal second base, feel guilty and go back.
baseball quotes by HUMPHREY BOGART-1460051064
That's baseball, and it's my game. Y' know, you take your worries to the game, and you leave 'em there. You yell like crazy for your guys. It's good for your lungs, gives you a lift, and nobody calls the cops. Pretty girls, lots of 'em.
baseball quotes by ART HILL-1460049684
With those who don't give a damn about baseball, I can only sympathize. I do not resent them. I am even willing to concede that many of them are physically clean, good to their mothers and in favor of world peace. But while the game is on, I can't think of anything to say to them.
baseball quotes by VANCE LAW-1460048182
When you're in a slump, it's almost as if you look out at the field and it's one big glove.
baseball quotes by ROGERS HORNSBY-1460041480
I don't want to play golf. When I hit a ball, I want someone else to go chase it.
baseball quotes by NOMAR GARCIAPARRA-1460040003
Back then, my idol was Bugs Bunny, because I saw a cartoon of him playing ball - you know, the one where he plays every position himself with nobody else on the field but him? Now that I think of it, Bugs is still my idol. You have to love a ballplayer like that.
baseball quotes by GEORGE CARLIN-1460009234
Baseball is the only major sport that appears backwards in a mirror.
baseball quotes by WILLIE STARGELL-1460007890
When they start the game, they don't yell, "Work ball." They say, "Play ball."
baseball quotes by WALT WHITMANBASEBALL: AN INFORMAL HISTORY-1460003318
I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game. It will take our people out-of-doors, fill them with oxygen, give them a larger physical stoicism. Tend to relieve us from being a nervous, dyspeptic set. Repair these losses, and be a blessing to us.
baseball quotes by GEORGE BERNARD SHAW-1459961665
What is both surprising and delightful is that spectators are allowed, and even expected, to join in the vocal part of the game.... There is no reason why the field should not try to put the batsman off his stroke at the critical moment by neatly timed disparagements of his wife's fidelity and his mother's respectability.
baseball quotes by EARL WILSON-1459930913
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
baseball quotes by AL GALLAGHER-1459929632
There are three things in my life which I really love: God, my family, and baseball. The only problem - once baseball season starts, I change the order around a bit.
baseball quotes by PAUL GALLICO-1459920067
No game in the world is as tidy and dramatically neat as baseball, with cause and effect, crime and punishment, motive and result, so cleanly defined.
baseball quotes by ROY CAMPANELLA-1459918341

baseball quotes by DAVE BARRY-1459857853
If a woman has to choose between catching a fly ball and saving an infant's life, she will choose to save the infant's life without even considering if there are men on base.
baseball quotes by TOM CLARK-1459847044
I'm convinced that every boy, in his heart, would rather steal second base than an automobile.
baseball quotes by TED WILLIAMS-1459834676
Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer.
baseball quotes by ROGERS HORNSBY-1459833104
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.
baseball quotes by JIM BOUTON-1459793588
You see, you spend a good piece of your life gripping a baseball, and in the end it turns out that it was the other way around all the time.
