Almost all of us growing up have played baseball on some level. It has an inside track with people. It has a unifying effect.
One of my favorite expressions ever uttered by a player is Roy Campanella's line about how, in order to be a major-league player, you have to have a lot of little boy in you.
A lot of people in the ballpark are now beginning to see the pitches with their heart.
All my career, all I have ever really done, all I ever have accomplished, is to talk about the accomplishments of others. We can't all be heroes. Somebody has to stand on the curb and applaud as the parade goes by.
There's 29.000 people in the ballpark, and a million butterflies.
It is going to be funny for me to go into the clubhouse in Vero Beach and not know half the players. In fact, I really wish we had the names on the back of the uniforms more than ever this year.
I would think that right now the mound at Dodger Stadium is the lonliest place in the world.
The Dodgers are such a .500 team that if there was a way to split a three-game series, they'd find it.
And look who's coming up. All year long, they looked to him (Kirk Gibson) to light the fire. All year long, he answered the demand; until he was physically unable to start tonight with two bad legs, a left hamstring, and a swollen right knee. And with two out, you talk about a roll of the dice. This is it!
He began his Hall of Fame career with the Brooklyn Dodgers at the age of nineteen, ... In 1955...
Manuel Corpas is long and lean-the opposite of Olmedo Saenz.
And also it's an ever-gathering process. If I pick up the Sporting News or some sports publication and there's an article on somebody and I think I might see that player, I will tear it out and put it in a file, and I have a looseleaf book so when we're going to play that particular team I take out all these clippings and things I pulled out, I go through them, highlight them, put them in the book.
I love baseball and I don't want to be part of anything that would cheapen it or vulgarize it.
He (Bob Gibson) pitches as though he's double-parked.
