“Baseball isn't just a game. It's the smell of popcorn drifting in the air, the sight of bugs buzzing near the stadium lights,the roughness of the dirt beneath your cleats. It's the anticipation building in your chest as the anthem plays, the adrenaline rush when your bat cracks against the ball, and the surge of blood when the umpire shouts strike after you pitch. It's a team full of guys backing your every move, a bleacher full of people cheering you on. It's...life”
― Katie McGarry, Dare You To

“In high school I wrote an essay on baseball and my teacher told me I had to rewrite it on a more serious topic. So I wrote an essay about the World Series and my teacher gave up.”
― Tucker Elliot

“Baseball, of all sports, and maybe of all human endeavors, has no room for cynicism.”
― Howard Frank Mosher, Waiting For Teddy Williams: A Touching Literary Coming-of-Age Baseball Story – Faith, Family, and Dreams
