Baseball's a sport where everyone has an opinion and with all those opinions come alot of one liners and famous quotes........So whats your favorite? Here's mine.
"If a woman has to choose between catching a fly ball and saving an infant's life, she will choose to save the infant's life without even considering if there are men on base." -Dave Barry
"Baseball is a game where a curve is an optical illusion, a screwball can be a pitch or a person, stealing is legal and you can spit anywhere you like except in the umpire's eye or on the ball." -Forgot his name.

From Bull Durham:
Skip: You guys. You lollygag the ball around the infield. You lollygag your way down to first. You lollygag in and out of the dugout. You know what that makes you? Larry!
Larry: Lollygaggers!
Skip: Lollygaggers.
Yogi Berra: "Slump? I ain't in no slump. I just ain't hitting."
"Think! How the **** are you gonna think and hit at the same time?" "I never blame myself when I'm not hitting. I just blame the bat, and if it keeps up, I change bats. After all, if I know it isn't my fault that I'm not hitting, how can I get mad at myself?"

"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
"It is well to remember that a Martian observing his first baseball game would be quite correct in concluding that the last two words of the National Anthem are: PLAY BALL!" -Herbert H. Paper

Both of these are from Bull Durham.....
Never **** with a winning streak
I believe in the soul, the ****, the *****, the small of a woman’s back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, long foreplay, show tunes, and that the novels of Thomas Pynchon are self-indulgent, overerrated crap. I believe that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, I believe that there oughtta be a constitutional amendment outlawing astro-turf and the designated hitter, I believe in the sweet spot, voting every election, soft core pornography, chocolate chip cookies, opening your presents on Christmas morning rather than Christmas eve, and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last for 7 days

"Always follow your dreams, don't let anyone tell you that you can't be something."
"Anyone can forget about talent, but if you're a good person, your name will be remembered a long time."
"Be respectful. Treat people the way you want to be treated. Respect the lowest rank and the highest rank and you'll never get in trouble."
"Enjoy your sweat because hard work doesn't guarantee success, but without it, you don't have a chance."

The 57th district was very entertaining for a long time w/ the likes of Charlie Adkins and Mike Collins!
" Timmy, I could stick a ******* wooden indian back there, and block more balls than you!" Mike Collins
"Trenton, your to lazy to even eat....wait a minute... I take that back" Mike Collins
We could go on for days w/ this stuff!

HAHAHA....I agree, I didn't play under Collins but I did Adkins. I know that Collins was Adkins catcher at Morehead and if his sayings are nearly half of what I heard from Charlie's mouth then I'd say he was a hoot to play for.

The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws. ~Rick Wise, 1974
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
You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the god**** plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all. ~Earl Weaver
A critic once characterized baseball as six minutes of action crammed into two-and-one-half hours. ~Ray Fitzgerald
Things could be worse. Suppose your errors were counted and published every day, like those of a baseball player. ~Author Unknown
I have discovered in twenty years of moving around a ball park, that the knowledge of the game is usually in inverse proportion to the price of the seats. ~Bill Veeck
Baseball, it is said, is only a game. True. And the Grand Canyon is only a hole in Arizona. ~George F. Will
There are two theories on hitting the knuckleball. Unfortunately, neither of them work. ~Charlie Lau
Some people are born on third base and go through life thinking they hit a triple. ~Barry Switzer
The Earl Weaver quote is my all-time favorite.

First game of season and mom was upset that her son was is right field.
Mom: Is that where he is going to be all year?
Manager: If he comes to practice everyday and works hard, then yeah I'll leave him out there.
Mom just sat back down.
This happened at Johnson Co Cal Ripken.

Show me a good sportsman and I'll show you a player I'm looking to trade.
- Leo Durocher
Ninety percent of the game is half mental.
- Yogi Berra
Nolan Ryan is pitching much better now that he has his curve ball straightened out.
- Joe Garagiola
One year I hit .291 and had to take a salary cut. If you hit .291 today, you'd own the franchise.
- Enos Slaughter
Progress always involves risks. You can't steal second base and keep your foot on first.
- Frederick B. Wilcox
Rockne wanted nothing but "bad losers." Good losers get into the habit of losing.
- George E. Allen

Casey Stengel, to one of his pitchers at the Polo Grounds:
At the end of this season they're gonna tear this place down. The way you're pitchin', that right-field section will be gone already.
Casey Stengel:
Look at him. He doesn't drink, he doesn't smoke, he doesn't chew, he doesn't stay out late, and he still can't hit .250.
Jim Leyland, Pirates manager:
I knew we were in for a long season when we lined up for the national anthem on opening day and one of my players said, "Every time I hear that song I have a bad game."
Tim McCarver:
I remember one time going out to the mound to talk with Bob Gibson. He told me to get back behind the batter, that the only thing I knew about pitching was that it was hard to hit.
Joe Garagiola, on Rick Burleson:
He's even tempered. He comes to the ballpark mad and stays that way.

People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring. ~Rogers Hornsby
There are three things in my life which I really love: God, my family, and baseball. The only problem - once baseball season starts, I change the order around a bit. ~Al Gallagher, 1971
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
Hitting is timing. Pitching is upsetting timing. ~Warren Spahn
Putting lights in Wrigley Field is like putting aluminum siding on the Sistine Chapel. ~Roger Simon, 1988
What does a mama bear on the pill have in common with the World Series? No cubs. ~Harry Caray
