Sledge Jr.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cBaseball is about talent, hard work, and strategy. But at the deepest level, it\u2019s about love, integrity, and respect.\u201d &#8211; Pat Gillick<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u201cA man has to have goals \u2013 for a day, for a lifetime \u2013 and that was mine, to have people say, \u2018There goes Ted Williams, the greatest hitter who ever lived.\u201d &#8211; Ted Willams<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer.&#8221; &#8211; Ted Williams<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u201cWith baseball, it\u2019s simple. There\u2019s no mystery to what happens on the field because everything has a label \u2013 full count, earned run, perfect game \u2013 and there\u2019s a certain amount of comfort in this terminology. There\u2019s no room for confusion.\u201d &#8211; Jennifer E. Smith<\/li>\n<li>\u201cThe one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it\u2019s a part of our past, Ray. It reminds us of all that once was good and that could be again.\u201d &#8211; James Earl Jones<\/li>\n<li>\u201cIf there was magic in this world, it happened within sight of the three bases and home plate. [\u2026] Wrigley [stadium]was a field of dreams. Dreams of eternal glory for the men who ran to the outfield, who took their respective bases, and prepared for battle against those who would dare enter their hallowed realm. Dreams for the kids in the stands, all wanting to don a uniform, kiss their mom\u2019s goodbye, and wield their bats as enchanted weapons destined to knock the cover off the ball.\u201d &#8211; Tee Morris<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u201cIt is dangerous to spring to obvious conclusions about baseball or, for that matter, ball players. Baseball is not an obvious game.\u201d &#8211; Roger Kahn<\/li>\n<li>\u201cBaseball is like church. Many attend, few understand.\u201d &#8211; Leo Durocher<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Remember kid, there&#8217;s heroes and there&#8217;s legends. Heroes get remembered, but legends never die.

But I have found that the ones who drink milkshakes don\u2019t win many ball games.\u201d &#8211; Fred McMane<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u201cBaseball is like a poker game. Nobody wants to quit when he\u2019s losing; nobody wants you to quit when you\u2019re ahead.\u201d &#8211; Jackie Robinson<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Watching other teams in the World Series is like watching somebody else\u00a0eat a Hot Fudge Sundae.&#8221;\u00a0&#8211; Joe Torre<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;The greatest feeling in the world is to win a major league game.
