One of the things I've learned is that baseball is something that happens over time.

Baseball has long been a national pastime that many Americans have cherished.

Baseball changes through the years. It gets milder.

With me, baseball will never grow old. In my own estimation, it may not have improved so much as many believe, but regardless of everything, it is the same good old game. If I have contributed to its success, I do not refer to this in the sense of boasting. I had to or fall out of the ranks.

Baseball has changed dramatically since I began my tenure with the Yankees.

To me, baseball is as honorable as any other business. It is the most honest pastime in the world. It has to be, or it could not last a season out. Crookedness and baseball do not mix. It has become immeasurably more popular as the years have gone by. It will be greater yet. This year, 1919, is the greatest season of them all.

Baseball was the darling of all sports back then.

If you watch the history of baseball, teams come back, and sometimes they could have come back, but they give in or give up.

I don't know where Hank Aaron will break Ruth's record but I can tell you one thing - ten years from the day he hits it three million people will say they were there.

I think the average MLB career now is just a few years. The quote that has always resonated with me is 'We're going to be former players a lot longer than we were current players.'
