FBTAA: Baseball Quotes & Sounds
"Little League baseball is a very good thing because it keeps the parents off the streets."
Yogi Berra
"It ain't like football. You can't make up no trick plays."
Yogi Berra
"The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don't play together, the club won't be worth a dime."
Babe Ruth
"Any time you think you have the game conquered, the game will turn around and punch you right in the nose."
Mike Schmidt
"I became a good pitcher when I stopped trying to make them miss the ball and started trying to make them hit it."
Sandy Koufax
Ten Commandments for Success in Baseball by Joe McCarthy (1949)
# Commandment
- Nobody ever became a ballplayer by walking after a ball.
- You will never become a .300 hitter unless you take the bat off your shoulder.
- An outfielder who throws in back of a runner is locking the barn after the horse is stolen.
- Keep your head up and you may not have to keep it down.
- When you start to slide, slide. He who changes his mind may have to change a good leg for a bad one.
- Do not alibi on bad hops. Anybody can field the good ones.
- Always run them out. You never can tell.
- Do not quit.
- Do not fight too much with the umpires. You cannot expect them to be as perfect as you are.
- A pitcher who hasn't control hasn't anything.
A little boy was overheard talking to himself as he strutted through the backyard, wearing his baseball cap and toting a ball and bat. "I'm the greatest hitter in the world," he announced. Then, he tossed the ball into the air, swung at it, and missed.
"Strike One!" he yelled.
Undaunted, he picked up the ball and said again, "I'm the greatest hitter in the world!" He tossed the ball into the air. When it came down he swung again and missed.
"Strike Two!" he cried.
The boy then paused a moment to examine his bat and ball carefully. He spit on his hands and rubbed them together. He straightened his cap and said once more, "I'm the greatest hitter in the world!" Again he tossed the ball up in the air and swung at it. He missed.
"Strike Three!" "Wow!" he exclaimed.
"I'm the greatest pitcher in the world!"
