I have always passed the ball and worked on that part of my game.
It's not enough just being a good passer of the ball.
I met Hilary Vaughan at a Student Ball in 1944 and we married in the summer of 1946, as soon as I graduated.
Next time there’s a ball, ask me before someone else does, and not as a last resort!
...and he crosses the line with the ball almost mesmerically tied to his foot with a piece of string.
Our knowledge of shape and form remains, in general, a mixture of visual and of tactile experiences... A child learns about roundness from handling a ball far more than from looking at it.
Sometimes, the people who are helping you can drop the ball.
Even our recreation was scheduled. There was no time to look for birds or wander into the nearby woods. We were put into teams and sent into violent pursuit of a helpless ball.
I won't be active in the day-to-day operations of the ball club at all.
It's hard to field the ball when you have both hands around your throat.
It's not easy to act, but to direct to act. It goes form one place to the next. It's not heading for the punchline, and also it's not about scoring goals. It's about passing the ball, and the goals will come by themselves.
I didn't hit the ball like I was 46. But I putted like I was 66.
The primary conception of tennis is to get the ball over the net and at the same time to keep it within bounds of the court; failing this, within the borders of the neighborhood.
It's really nice to pass the ball when you're in an ensemble cast.
[Petunias are] as hopelessly impractical as a chiffon ball dress.
When Tiger was 6 months old, he would sit in our garage, watching me hit balls into a net. He had been assimilating his golf swing. When he got out of the high chair, he had a golf swing.
I know everything about candy. Would you believe I even know where to find gumballs in the middle of Africa?
I could have rolled the ball up there against Musial, and he would have pulled out a golf club and hit it out.
I throw the ball as hard as ever, but it just takes longer to get to the plate.
Quickness more than anything else should determine your amount of pressure on the ball.
The great thing about basketball is it's a live ball. If someone's in your way, push them out of the way, go around them or over them, whatever it takes.
If I'm shifted two steps toward third base and the ball goes up the middle, people say I have no range to my left. That's why those statistics aren't accurate. You're changing for every batter, sometimes with every pitch. You really can't make one statistic for every shortstop. You have to go by what you see.
Later, I could take something off my slider and I could make my fastball sink, so I really had four pitches.
The entire ball game, in terms of both the exam and life, was what you gave attention to vs. what you willed yourself to not.
As soon as I hit the ball, I know if it's in.
