P.S.-Pooh Says...
"What day is it? - 'It's today' - squeaked Piglet. 'My favourite day' - said Pooh."- A.A. Milne
"Don't
tell me about the world. Not today. It's springtime
and
they're knocking baseballs around fields where the grass is damp and
green in the morning and the kids are trying to hit the curve ball."
Pete Hamill
"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."
Bull Durham
"I think walking up
to Fenway is thrilling. The approach to it. The
smells.
You go to Fenway and you think, 'Something wonderful is going
to
happen today.'"
David Halberstam
"All baseball fans believe in miracles. The question is, how many do you believe
in?"
John Updike
"It is played everywhere. In parks and playgrounds and prison
yards. In back alleys and farmers' fields. By small children
and old men. Raw amateurs and millionaire professionals.
It is a leisurely game that demands blinding speed.
The only game in which the defense has the ball. It
follows the seasons, beginning each year with the fond expectancy of
springtime, and ending with the hard facts of autumn. It is a
haunted game, in which every player is measured against the ghosts of
all who have gone before. Most of all, it is about time and
timelessness. Speed and grace. Failure and loss.
Imperishable hope. And coming home."
Ken Burns, Baseball
"I see great things in baseball. It's our game--the American
game."Walt Whitman
