                                    GREAT QUOTES OF BASEBALL

You owe it to yourself to be the best you can possible be - in baseball and in life

 ~Pete Rose

Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer.  ~Ted Williams

When they start the game, they don't yell, "Work ball."  They say, "Play ball."  ~Willie Stargell, 1981

Baseball is the only place in life where a sacrifice is really appreciated.  ~Author Unknown

No matter how good you are, you're going to lose one-third of your games.  No matter how bad you are you're going to win one-third of your games.  It's the other third that makes the difference.  ~Tommy Lasorda

During my 18 years I came to bat almost 10,000 times.  I struck out about 1,700 times and walked maybe 1,800 times.  You figure a ballplayer will average about 500 at bats a season.  That means I played seven years without ever hitting the ball.  ~Mickey Mantle, 1970
