I'm always very excited by something that's a curveball or from left field.
Frankly, my politics are pretty left of left.
In baseball you hit your home run over the right-field fence, the left-field fence, the center-field fence. Nobody cares. In golf everything has got to be right over second base.
Technical knowledge, divorced from what it is supposed to be knowledge of, yields only the illusion of understanding. It's like being able to reel off the locations in a baseball field -- first base, second base, third base, home plate, left field, r...
That moment, when you first lay eyes on that field — The Monster, the triangle, the scoreboard, the light tower Big Mac bashed, the left-field grass where Ted (Williams) once roamed — it all defines to me why baseball is such a magical game
I had a great year and left my guts out on the field.
When you left you left behind a field of silent flowers under a sky full of unstirred clouds...you left a million butterflies mid-silky flutters You left like midnight rain against my dreaming ears Oh and how you left leaving my coffee scentless and ...
My life/career is more filled with left-field thrills than I could ever have hoped for.
I don’t need your praise to survive. I was here first, before you were here, before you ever planted a garden. And I’ll be here when only the sun and moon are left, and the sea, and the wide field. I will constitute the field.
I can play anywhere. First, third, left field, anywhere but Philadelphia.
Part of my humor is the fact that I love coming out of left field. I don't want people to expect what is going to happen next.
I had bad days on the field. But I didn't take them home with me. I left them in a bar along the way home.
In the late 1990s, I left the teaching field to write biographies and histories for young adults.
Terry Fields: Let me have a Three Musketeers, and a ball point pen, and one of those combs there, a pint of Old Harper, a couple of flash light batteries and some beef jerky. Barman: Okay, you got an I.D. for the liquor? Terry Fields: Oh, umm, yeah. ...
Starvation and disease are the original weapons of mass destruction. When you burn fields and kill animals, people are left vulnerable.
If I have put the case of science at all correctly, the reader will have recognised that modern science does much more than demand that it shall be left in undisturbed possession of what the theologian and metaphysician please to term its 'legitimate...
I'm sure people think that I'm out in left field you know, playing by myself.
I never like to talk about my own politics, but whether you're left, right or center, the 2008 race was definitely good drama.
I left science, then I went into art, but I approach things very analytically. I choose to pursue both art and architecture as completely separate fields rather than merging them.
I get a lot of kids distracted. Sometimes they got to go cover left field, but they're over here talking to me, getting an autograph.
The way those clubs shift against Ted Williams, I can't understand how he can be so stupid not to accept the challenge to him and hit to left field.
