| Branch Rickey
A full mind is an empty bat.A great ballplayer is a player who will take a chance. Baseball is a game of inches. Baseball is a game of inches.Ethnic prejudice has no place in sports, and baseball must recognize that truth if it is to maintain stature as a national game. First you forget names; then you forget faces; then you forget to zip up your fly; and then you forget to unzip your fly.How to use your leisure time is the biggest problem of a ballplayer. I don't care if I was a ditch-digger at a dollar a day, I'd want to do my job better than the fellow next to me. I'd want to be the best at whatever I do. Luck is the residue of design.Man may penetrate the outer reaches of the universe, he may solve the very secret of eternity itself, but for me, the ultimate human experience is to witness the flawless execution of a hit-and-run. Only in baseball can a team player be a pure individualist first and a team player second, within the rules and spirit of the game. Our pitching staff is a conspiracy of ifs. Problems are the price you pay for progress.This ball - this symbol; its it worth a whole man's life?Trade a player a year too early rather than a year too late. |
