Every baseball crowd, like every theatre audience, has its own distinctive attitude and atmosphere.

The true harbinger of spring is not crocuses or swallows returning to Capistrano, but the sound of the bat on the ball.

There are only two seasons - winter and Baseball.

Baseball is almost the only orderly thing in a very unorderly world. If you get three strikes, even the best lawyer in the world can't get you off.

I try not to break the rules, but merely to test their elasticity.

If there is any justice in this world, to be a White Sox fan frees a man from any other form of penance.

Tradition is the albatross around the neck of progress.

The most beautiful thing in the world is a ballpark filled with people.

I have discovered in 20 years of moving around a ballpark, that the knowledge of the game is usually in inverse proportion to the price of the seats.

I was in the game for love. After all, where else can an old-timer with one leg, who can't hear or see, live like a king while doing the only thing I wanted to do?

I'm for the dreamers. The only really important things in history have been started by the dreamers. They never know what can't be done.

When a goat likes a book, the whole book is gone, and the meaning has to go find an author again.- The Trouble With Reading

There was always an unspoken generosity about my mom.

When you were a little girl, Madam.....was this the woman you dreamed of becoming?

I used to be a good party boy. I'm old. I'm an old man. You pay the consequences. I'm just fine with a couple of drinks, no more than that.

Sleep after toyle, port after stormie seas, Ease after warre, death after life, does greatly please.

Why is America such a great country. It is because we stand united.

Be a beneficial presence on the planet. Give your Gifts. Boldly go where no woman or no man has ever gone before.

A crush is just as simple as admiration. You get attracted to another person and time can allow feelings to grow more into something more than that.

I loved downers, almost any kind. Loved the colors of them. Loved them yellow... I did. I would just have a bouquet in my hands at night.

Hustlers of the world, there is one mark you cannot beat: the mark inside.
