Casey knew his baseball. He only made it look like he was fooling around. He knew every move that was ever invented and some that we haven't even caught on to yet.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball, the rules and realities of the game - and do it by watching first some high school or small-town teams.
Casey was the better team and the better team won.
I felt like the world of baseball in 1919 was much closer to what A-ball would be now - guys riding buses, there's no training staff, and there's a lot of paranoia.
I'm a huge baseball fan and follow it very closely.
We fought like heck for every player and every advantage, but we knew we were part of something bigger than ourselves. To me, that is what baseball is all about. I hope it is always what baseball is all about.
Everything I learned about the game of baseball, I learned from my dad.
That was real baseball. We weren't playing for money. They gave us Mickey Mouse watches that ran backwards.
Baseball was the darling of all sports back then.
Baseball cannot be learned as a trade. It begins with the sport of the schoolboy, and though it may end in the professional, I am sure there is not a single one of these who learned the game with the expectation of making it a business. There have been years in the life of each during which he must have ate and drank and dreamed baseball.
I knew how to read box scores and who the baseball heroes were before I had ever seen or even heard much of a game.
