“Baseball is a game of inches.” — Branch Rickey Quote

Baseball is a game of inches.

Leisure is the handmaiden of the devil.

If things don't come easy, there is no premium on effort. There should be joy in the chase, zest in the pursuit.

A great ballplayer is a player who will take a chance.

Luck is the residue of design.

In baseball, you can't kill the clock. You've got to give the other man his chance. That's why this is the greatest game.

The key to winning baseball games is pitching, fundamentals, and three run homers.

I live in L.A., so I go to basketball games. But I love baseball.

Poets are like baseball pitchers. Both have their moments. The intervals are the tough things.

I just happen to know how to hit a baseball and throw a baseball. But I probably couldn't go into somebody else's job and be as good as they are but no one's praising them about it.
