"The game has cleanness. If you do a good job the numbers say
so. You don't have to ask anyone or play politics. You don't
have to wait for the reviews." Sandy Koufax, Dodgers Pitcher
(1955-66)
"Baseball is like a poker game. Nobody wants to quit when he's
losing. Nobody wants you to quit when you're ahead." Jackie
Robinson, Dodgers infielder (1947-56)
"I could never play in New York. The first time I came into a
game there, I got into the bullpen car and they told me to lock
the doors." Mike Flanagan
This is interesting: "I never blame myself when I'm not hitting.
I just blame the bat and if it keeps up, I change bats. After
all, if I know it isn't my fault that I'm not hitting, how can I
get mad at myself?" Yogi Berra
"It's a good thing Babe Ruth isn't here. If he was, George
Steinbrenner would have him bat seventh and say he's
overweight." Graig Nettles
Another interesting one You can't think and hit at the same
time. Yogi Berra Can you believe it? Don't be afraid to take
advice. There's always something new to learn. Babe Ruth Show me
a guy, who's afraid to look bad, and I'll show you a guy you can
beat. Lou Brock I think he may have something here. Take time to
thank everyone who has helped you along the way. Brooks Robinson
You spend a good piece of your life gripping a baseball and in
the end it turns out that it was the other way around all the
time. Jim Bouton No matter what I talk about, I always get back
to baseball. Connie Mack
The trouble with baseball is that it is not played the year
round. Gaylord Perry One of my favorites Baseball hasn't
forgotten me. I go to a lot of old-timers games and I haven't
lost a thing. I sit in the bullpen and let people throw things
at me. Just like old times. Bob Uecker These days baseball is
different. You come to spring training, you get your legs ready,
you arms loose, your agents ready, your lawyer lined up. Dave
Winfield
