Quote(s):

My mom cut this out and put it on my dresser the other day. I thought that I would share it.

" I've swung for the fences in my life. I haven't been timid about things. And so you can fail, mightily, in the eyes of people who don't want you to succeed, or haven't succeeded in something themselves, and there's a certain glee that comes with that. But it hasn't made me be timid.
- Kevin Costner

Quotations From Bull Durham (1988)

"A good friend of mine used to say, 'This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains.' Think about that for a while."

"Strikeouts are boring. Besides that, they're fascist."

"There are 108 beads in a Catholic rosary. And there are 108 stitches in a baseball. When I learned that, I gave Jesus a chance."

"Yeah, I was in the show. I was in the show for twenty-one days once."

"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? Lollygaggers!"
