Famous quotes containing the words alan and/or ball:

    “Power lasts ten years; influence not more than a hundred.”
    —Korean proverb, quoted in Alan L. Mackay, The Harvest of a Quiet Eye (1977)

    “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)
