Baseball is the only thing beside the paper clip that hasn't changed

The true harbinger of spring is not crocuses or swallows returning to Capistrano, but the sound of the bat on the ball.

There are only two seasons - winter and Baseball.

Baseball is almost the only orderly thing in a very unorderly world. If you get three strikes, even the best lawyer in the world can't get you off.

I try not to break the rules, but merely to test their elasticity.

If there is any justice in this world, to be a White Sox fan frees a man from any other form of penance.

Tradition is the albatross around the neck of progress.

The most beautiful thing in the world is a ballpark filled with people.

I have discovered in 20 years of moving around a ballpark, that the knowledge of the game is usually in inverse proportion to the price of the seats.

I'm for the dreamers. The only really important things in history have been started by the dreamers. They never know what can't be done.

...who I am to talk? I dream of rain.

Retirement with its open canvas, is an especially opportune time to cultivate expanded experiences.

Tears aren't for the people we've lost. They're for us. So we can remember, and celebrate, and miss them, and feel human.

The system of private property is the most important guaranty of freedom, not only for those who own property, but scarcely less for those who do not.

I lost my ridiculous accent without acquiring another

I get the urge for going/But I never seem to go.

...they watched the humans disappear. They watched them dissolve, like moving tablets in the humid air.

The fool will upset the whole science of astronomy.

I don't necessarily need 400 pounds on my back in the squat rack, and then take a picture of myself and send it out to my Twitter followers, 'Part of the 400 pound club today.'
