“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 damn plate and give the other man his chance.
That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all.”
- Earl Weaver
"My motto was always to keep swinging.
Whether I was in a slump or feeling badly or having trouble off the field, the only thing to do was keep swinging."
- Hank Aaron
“After I hit a home run, I had a habit of running the bases with my head down.
I figured the pitcher already felt bad enough without me showing him up rounding the bases.”
- Mickey Mantle
“A sore arm is like a headache or a toothache.
It can make you feel bad, but if you just forget about it and do what you have to do, it will go away.
If you really like to pitch and you want to pitch, that's what you'll do.”
- Warren Spahn
