Famous quotes containing the word baseball:

    “One of the baseball-team owners approached me and said: “If you become baseball commissioner, you’re going to have to deal with 28 big egos,” and I said, “For me, that’s a 72% reduction.””
    —George Mitchell (b. 1933)

    —Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)

    “I’ve gradually risen from lower-class background to lower-class foreground.”
