Base Ball

Famous quotes containing the words base and/or ball:

“Shall we now
Contaminate our fingers with base bribes,
And sell the mighty space of our large honors
For so much trash as may be grasped thus?
I had rather be a dog and bay the moon
Than such a Roman.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“When Adam delved and Eve span,
Who was then the gentleman?”
