| Baseball Quotes - These quotes are said by many famous people throughout history. |
| "I see great things in baseball, it's our game-the American game. It will take our people out of doors, fill them with oxygen, give them a larger physical stoicism. Tend to relieve us from being nervous, dyspeptic set. Repair these losses, and be a blessing to us." Walt Whitman "My motto was always to keep swinging. Whether I was in a slump or feeling badly or having trouble off the field, the only thing to do was keep swinging." Hank Aaron "The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don't play together, the club won't be worth a dime." Babe Ruth "I think about the cosmic snowball theory. A few million years from now the sun will burn out and lose its gravitational pull. The earth will turn into a giant snowball and be hurled through space. When that happens it won't matter if I get this guy out." Bill Lee "Never let your head hang down. Never give up and sit down and grieve. Find another way. And don't pray when it rains if you don't pray when the sun shines." Satchel Paige (1906-1982) "Don�t look back. Something might be gaining on you." Satchel Paige "Two hundred million Americans, and there ain't two good catchers among 'em." Casey Stengel "You can learn little from victory. You can learn everything from defeat." Christy Mathewson "I think there are only three things America will be known for 2,000 years from now when they study this civilization: the Constitution, jazz music, and baseball."

Glenn Dickey "Moments of silence, full crowds standing for "God Bless America" in the seventh inning, cheers for firefighters -- all winding down to Barry Bonds trying to hit home runs and a cast of fools in the inlet giddily trying to catch them." Chuck Culpepper, The Oregonian Sports Columnist, "Cruelest month ends in a day by the Bay" - 10/01/01 "To me and many others, the Mariners are the icon of the state of Washington, and I'm proud of my state heritage, and how the Mariners are representing it. . . However, in a day, a week, or a month's time, we may be called out to a place where we cannot hear the news of the Mariners winning the World Series. . . even though we are all weary and uncertain about the future, we are definitely ready to defend our country. That's our job. For all of those who play sports back home, keep doing your job well."
