I love baseball. I'll probably end up one of those old farts who go to spring training in Florida every year and drive from game to game all day.
You can talk about teamwork on a baseball team, but I'll tell you, it takes teamwork when you have 2,900 men stationed on the U.S.S. Alabama in the South Pacific.
Baseball is a red-blooded sport for red-blooded men. It's no pink tea, and mollycoddles had better stay out. It's a struggle for supremacy, a survival of the fittest.
It's a weird scene. You win a few baseball games and all of a sudden you're surrounded by reporters and TV men with cameras asking you about Vietnam and race relations.
I was looking for something like baseball, where there's a lot of data and the competition was pretty low. That's when I discovered politics.
Anyone interested in becoming a professional umpire and becoming eligible to work in the minor leagues must attend one of the two umpire schools sanctioned by Major League Baseball.
When I'm not at work, I put deep conditioner in my hair and wear a baseball cap. I'll just roll around on the off-days with goop in my hair, and then just rinse it out.
The debate analysis in the media is rampant with contest analogies of war, baseball, boxing, football; you name it. Any testosterone contest imaginable is fair game.
All I do is play football, eat, sleep, play with my kids, play football.
Playing and fun are not the same thing, though when we grow up we may forget that and find ourselves mixing up playing with happiness. There can be a kind of amnesia about the seriousness of playing, especially when we played by ourselves.
That was the reasoning behind learning to play bass, and then after that it was more like it was neat to play songs together - for me to play bass and for him to play guitar.
I believe a kid who is playing is not alone. There is something brought alive during play, and this something, when played with, seems to play back.
Play hard. Play, play, play like your life depends on it. Because it does.

My mom always told me I should have a Plan B. I said that if I'm not going to play guitar I'm going to play drums. And if I'm not going to play drums, I'm going to play bass. I always just wanted to play music. I was completely obsessed.
Growing up I was a total movie-holic, but I always wanted to play the role that Clark Gable was playing or Spencer Tracy was playing. I was really never interested in the parts that women were playing. I found the parts that guys were playing were so...
The bullpen in a baseball park is the best place for matador training.
On days like this, baseball would make Michael as happy as it ever did. No umpires. No coaches. No rules except the ones you made up.
I've been able to sleep with my eyes open ever since I started watching baseball.
I have a memory like a baseball glove, so please, don’t toss me a basketball-sized rumination.
Managing games comes second. Managing people comes first.
