Make a game plan and stick to it. Unless it's not working.
If people don't want to come to the ballpark, how are you going to stop them? -Yogi Berra, The Yogi Book, to baseball commissioner Bud Selig about lagging baseball attendance Ninety percent of the game is half mental.
The ballparks have gotten too crowded. That's why nobody goes to see the game anymore.
The game is supposed to be fun. If you had a bad day, don't worry. You can't expect to get a hit every game.
I can see how he (Sandy Koufax) won twenty-five games. What I don't understand is how he lost five.
Half the game is 90% mental.
I've been with the Yankees 17 years, watching games and learning. You can see a lot by observing.
Ninety percent of the game (baseball) is half mental.
The game was two hours, with the commercials. I wish they did that now.
I don't see how he lost five games during the season.
As a general comment on baseball:"90% of the game is half mental."
You have to give 100 percent in the first half of the game. If that isn't enough, in the second half, you have to give what's left.
The game isn't over till it's over.
You got to be very careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there.
