Bad ballplayers
make good managers,
not the other way around.
All I can do is
help them be
as good as they are.

The only way
to make money as a manager
is to win in one place,
get fired and hired
somewhere else.

Baseball is a game, yes.
It is also a business.
But what it most truly is,
is disguised combat.
For all its gentility,
its almost leisurely pace,
baseball is
violence under wraps.

American professional center fielder in the MLB)
Players like rules.
If they didn’t have any rules,
they wouldn’t have anything to break.

You can’t tell
how much spirit a team has
until it starts losing.

The first books
I was interested in
were all about baseball.
But I can’t think
of one single book
that changed
my life in any way.
Charles Kuralt
A baseball game is
simply a nervous breakdown
divided into nine innings.
Robert Earl Wilson
Don’t call us
(ballplayers) heroes.
Firemen are heroes.
George Lee “Sparky” Anderson
You’ve got to have
an attitude
if you’re going to go
far in this game.
Robert “Bob” Gibson
