Quote

To me, baseball has always been a reflection of life. Like life, it adjusts. It survives everything.

Baseball is a lot like life. It's a day-to-day existence, full of ups and downs. You make the most of your opportunities in baseball as you do in life.

Baseball is a spirited race of man against man, reflex against reflex. A game of inches. Every skill is measured. Every heroic, every failing is seen and cheered, or booed. And then becomes a statistic.

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

Baseball is the life.

Baseball is a slow, boring, complex, cerebral game that doesn't lend itself to histrionics. You 'take in' a baseball game, something odd to say about a football or basketball game, with the clock running and the bodies flying.

Baseball is only a game, a game of inches and a lot of luck. During a time of all-out war, sports are very insignificant.

Baseball is a team game but, at the same time, it's a very lonely game: unlike in soccer or basketball, where players roam around, in baseball everyone has their little plot of the field to tend. When the action comes to you, the spotlight is on you but no one can help you.

I don't know anything about baseball.

Baseball is a team sport played by individuals for themselves.
