Your Favorite Baseball Saying

You can only pick one!

I'm going to start with:

"Trying to sneak a Fastball past Hank Aaron is like trying to sneak the sunrise past a Rooster!"

 

Good ol' yogi

I have to go with one everyone has heard...

"Baseball is 90% mental -- the other half is physical."

-Yogi Berra

 

"they should move back 1st base one step to eliminate all those close calls" - i dont remember who said it

 

"If a cow can't eat it, I don't want to play on it".
Richie Allen, Phillies

Man...I have so many that I like, to name one doesn't seem fair

 

John Lowenstein

 

I know this isnt a real baseball quote.. but it my favorite movie of all time...


Terence Mann: "Ray, people will come Ray. They'll come to Iowa for reasons they can't even fathom. They'll turn up your driveway not knowing for sure why they're doing it. They'll arrive at your door as innocent as children, longing for the past. Of course, we won't mind if you look around, you'll say. It's only $20 per person. They'll pass over the money without even thinking about it: for it is money they have and peace they lack. And they'll walk out to the bleachers; sit in shirtsleeves on a perfect afternoon. They'll find they have reserved seats somewhere along one of the baselines, where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes. And they'll watch the game and it'll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick they'll have to brush them away from their faces. People will come Ray. The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh... people will come Ray. People will most definitely come."

"If you build it, he will come."
