QUOTES FROM THE GREATEST GAME EVER INVENTED
"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
"I have discovered in 20 years of moving around a ballpark, that the knowledge of the game is usually in inverse proportion to the price of the seats."
- Bill Veeck
"It took me seventeen years to get three thousand hits in baseball. I did it in one afternoon on the golf course."
- Hank Aaron
