When I was growing up, there weren't any Little Leagues in the city. Parents worked all the time. They didn't have time to take their kids out to play baseball and football.
My views are just about the same as Casey's.
There were things that would irritate Casey, but trying too hard or getting mad at sitting on the bench weren't among them.
He can run, steal bases, throw, hit for average, and hit with power like I've never seen. Just don't put him at shortstop.
I played seven years without ever hitting the ball.
The only thing I can do is play baseball. I have to play ball. It's the only thing I know.
Casey didn't easily forgive a guy who got doubled up on a hit-and-run play. He didn't see any reason why the runner couldn't take a quick glance back toward the plate to make sure the ball was hit safely.
If the World Series was on the line and I could pick one pitcher to pitch the game, I'd choose Whitey Ford every time.
The best hitter I ever saw was Ted Williams.
This whole thing about not kicking someone when they are down is b.s. Not only do you kick him—you kick him until he passes out—then beat him over the head with a baseball bat—then roll him up in an old rug—and throw him off a cliff into the pounding surf below!!!!!
The Red Sox are the local scapegoats. It's hard enough to play baseball without being the local scapegoat too.
If somebody is really trying to take your head off with a baseball bat - I don't know how long you're supposed to stand there and turn the other cheek, so he or she can get a better angle at taking your head off.
Social media is dangerous for baseball players. Things can get taken out of context so fast. You can say something you don't want to say. It's dangerous.
When I started to sing, my mother would have me engaged to perform at the Women's Christian Temperance Union national or annual meetings. I would hate doing this because I wanted to play baseball or go off skiing.
I wasnt athletic. I played baseball, but I was terrible.
Right now I like baseball, hockey and tennis players. And horseback riders.
I am a hero worshiper. I love the number one tennis player. I love the number one baseball player. I want to see those records broken.
The only dream I've ever had is to become a major league baseball player.
This is a great thing that's happening in baseball. We don't know if it will ever happen again.
I rarely think the market is right. I believe non dividend stocks aren't much more than baseball cards. They are worth what you can convince someone to pay for it.
The best thing about baseball is that you can do something about yesterday tomorrow.
The best example of how impossible it will be for Major League Baseball to crack down on steroids is the fact that baseball and the media are still talking about the problem as "steroids.
I played softball for a few years growing up. Both my brothers played baseball.
If I couldn't broadcast baseball games, I think I would make a good impression on people.
The fastball is the best pitch in baseball. It's like having five pitches, if you move it around.
