There's really nothing better than a hunt ball.

Almost any game with any ball is a good game.

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.

I watch every day when we hit and take ground balls and the way we go about our business. If I saw any lackadaisical approach, that would concern me.

After a month or so in St. Louis, we were looking around desperately for a way to draw a few people into the ball park, it being perfectly clear by that time that the ball club wasn't going to do it unaided.

There's a lot of things more than baseball that I want to do.

The reason people like to watch ball games is because they don't really know exactly what's going to happen from moment to moment. That's why you watch the entire thing.

There is a special sensation in getting good wood on the ball and driving a double down the left-field line as the crowd in the ballpark rises to its feet and cheers. But, I also remember how much fun I had as a skinny barefoot kid hitting a tennis ball with a broomstick on a quiet, dusty street in Panama.

I'm just a seasonal guy. Basketball, football, baseball, boxing, golf. Give it to me all the time.
