There is but one game and that game is baseball.

Baseball is more than a game. It's like life played out on a field.

Baseball is a game, yes. It is also a business. But what is most truly is is disguised combat. For all its gentility, its almost leisurely pace, baseball is violence under wraps.

I think baseball was really reality when I was a freshman in high school.

Baseball is an individual game, but it should never be a personal game.

When baseball is no longer fun, it's no longer a game.

Baseball is the life.

Baseball is a team game.

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.

A good game gives us meaningful accomplishment - clear achievement that we don't necessarily get from real life. In a game, you've beaten level four, the boss monster is dead, you have a badge, and now you have a super laser sword. Real life isn't like that, right?
