"No game in the world is as tidy and dramatically neat as baseball, with cause and effect, crime and punishment, motive and result, so clearly defined." - Paul Gallico (sportswriter)

"Baseball is like church. Many attend, but few understand." - Wes Westrum (Mets manager 1965-67)

"Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer." - Ted Williams

"Any time you think you have the game conquered, the game will turn around and punch you right in the nose." - Mike Schmidt

"It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone." - A. Bartlett Giamatti
