I'm not a fan of baseball really.

Baseball is a team game.

You never really know baseball until you put on a pair of cleats and get out and play it; and if you play for five years, you still don't really know what it's about.

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.

Baseball is a team sport played by individuals for themselves.

I don't know much about sports.

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

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.
