FIND AN INSPIRATIONAL BASEBALL QUOTEInspirational Sports Quotes for theGreat American Game Can a simple inspirational baseball quote capture the essence of the Great American Game? Yep! These baseball quotes prove it. Baseball is like church. Many attend few understand.
There's something about baseball that brings out the unexpected philosopher in many folks. From the players to the managers, the commentators to the fans. And even a few who really don't like baseball. (They obviously just don't GET it.)
What impressed me when researching the inspirational sports quotes on this page was the depth of feeling baseball players have for their game. And despite the huge salaries some of them earn, when they come out with an inspirational baseball quote like these, it's clear many of them would play for nothing if they had to. They love the game that much.
People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring. It's also clear there's more to the game than pitch-hit-foul-run for nine innings and 27 outs. We all know Albert Einstein was a genius. Look at what he had to say in this inspirational baseball quote:
You teach me baseball
and I'll teach you relativity. No, we must not. You will learn about
relativity faster than I learn baseball.
Inspirational Baseball Quotes from Player/Manager Tommy Lasorda Inspirational Sports Quotes About Baseball From the Insiders—the players, coaches, managers and umps.
If we're going to win the pennant,
we've got to start thinking we're not as good as we think we are. You owe it to yourself to be the best
you can possible be—in baseball and in life. I never questioned the integrity of an
umpire. Their eyesight, yes. The good Lord was good to me. He gave
me a strong body, a good right arm, and a weak mind. If I had my career to play over, one
thing I'd do differently is swing more. Those 1,200 walks I got, nobody
remembers them. I know
it's tough. Everybody in baseball knows its tough. I'm just going to
give it my best shot. Pitchers
did me a favor when they knocked me down. It made me more determined. I
wouldn't let that pitcher get me out. They say you can't hit if you're
on your back, but I didn't hit on my back. I got up. So Many Professionals Had a Great Inspirational Baseball Quote
There is
no room in baseball for discrimination. It is our national pastime and a
game for all. The
pitcher has got only a ball. I've got a bat. So the percentage of
weapons is in my favor and I let the fellow with the ball do the
fretting. Every
great batter works on the theory that the pitcher is more afraid of him
than he is of the pitcher. Every
day is a new opportunity. You can build on yesterday's success or put
its failures behind and start over again. That's the way life is, with a
new game every day, and that's the way baseball is. I never
want to quit playing ball. They’ll have to cut this uniform off of me
to get me out of it Boys,
I'm one of those umpires that misses 'em every once in a while so if
it's close, you'd better hit it. God,
I hope I wear this jersey forever." Fans
don't boo nobodies. The Yankees can be had. Don't
call us heroes. Fireman are heroes Great Baseball Quotations From The Movies
From A League of Their Own
Jimmy
Dugan: I'm in no position to tell anyone how to live. But
sneaking out like this, quitting, you'll regret it for the rest of your
life. Baseball is what gets inside you. It's what lights you up, you
can't deny that. Dottie Hinson:
It just got too hard. Jimmy
Dugan: It's supposed to be hard! If it wasn't hard, everyone would do
it. The hard... is what makes it great!
...
and in another section, the most famous inspirational baseball quote in the movie:
Crying?
There's NO CRYING in baseball.
From Field of Dreams
If
you build it, He will come.
And from the Shoeless Joe Jackson Character: Man, I did love this game. I'd have played for food money. It was the game... The sounds, the smells.
From Bull Durham Annie Savoy: Baseball may be a religion full of magic, cosmic truth, and the fundamental ontological riddles of our time, but it's also a job.
Baseball Quotations Too Good to Pass Up
As a kid, before I could play music, I remember baseball being the one thing that could always make me happy.
I think about baseball when I wake up in the morning. I think about it all day and I dream about it at night. The only time I don't think about it Bye
bye baby! Let's
close as Announcer Harry Caray began his games, with this delightful
inspirational baseball quote:
Hello
again, everybody. It's a bee-yooo-tiful day for baseball.
