Breaks like a ball falling off a pool table.

In the olden days, the umpire didn't have to take any courses in mind reading. The pitcher told you he was going to throw at you.

Baseball is like church. Many attend few understand.

I never questioned the integrity of an umpire. Their eyesight, yes.

To some it's a six-pack, to me it's a "support group". Salvation in a can!

Buy a steak for a player on another club after the game, but don't even speak to him on the field. Get out there and beat them to death.

Win any way as long as you can get away with it. Nice guys finish last.

Give me some scratching, diving, hungry ballplayers who come to kill you.

I believe in rules. Sure I do. If there weren't any rules, how could you break them?

I never did say that you can't be a nice guy and win. I said that if I was playing third base and my mother rounded third with the winning run, I'd trip her up.

You don't save a pitcher for tomorrow. Tomorrow it may rain.

If I didn't have writing, I'd be running down the street hurling grenades in people's faces.

LOVE the hideous in order to find the sublime core of it.

Man is simply the best chance we know of that matter has had of providing itself with information about itself.

The past is the father of the present.

The rewards of the wild and the rewards of the survivor go to those who can dig deep, and, ultimately, to the guy who can stay alive.

There are different kinds and degrees of love, and they change over time, ripening and deepening and changing us in the process.

What helped me was working with my breathing, specifically, using my breathing to stay sharp and focused under pressure and then cool and calm when the pressure was relieved.

I think that I need to learn a lot, a lot.

A picture is worth a thousand texts.

The greatest history book ever written is the one hidden in our DNA.
