Nobody wants to quit
when he’s losing;
nobody wants you to quit
when you’re ahead.
Jackie Robinson

at the hitter
as his mortal enemy.

is a very good thing
because it keeps

You can shake
a dozen glove men out of a tree,
but the bat separates
the men from the boys.

it’s the one
who gets home safely
that counts.

Everything looks nicer
when you win.
The girls are prettier.
The cigars taste better.
The trees are greener.
Alfred Manuel “Billy” Martin, Jr.
You can have money
piled to the ceiling
but the size of your funeral
is still going
to depend on the weather.
Charles William “Chuck” Tanner
The way
to make coaches think
you’re in shape
in the spring
is to get a tan.
