Famous quotes containing the words marshall and/or field:

    I have a lifetime appointment and I intend to serve it. I expect to die at 110, shot by a jealous husband.
    —Thurgood Marshall (1908–1993)

    I don’t like comparisons with football. Baseball is an entirely different game. You can watch a tight, well-played football game, but it isn’t exciting if half the stadium is empty. The violence on the field must bounce off a lot of people. But you can go to a ball park on a quiet Tuesday afternoon with only a few thousand people in the place and thoroughly enjoy a one-sided game. Baseball has an aesthetic, intellectual appeal found in no other team sport.
    Bowie Kuhn (b. 1926)
