Famous quotes containing the word baseball:

    “The salary cap ... will be accepted about the time the 13 original states restore the monarchy.”
    —Tom Reich, U.S. baseball agent. New York Times, p. 16B (August 11, 1994)

    “The talk shows are stuffed full of sufferers who have regained their health—congressmen who suffered through a serious spell of boozing and skirt-chasing, White House aides who were stricken cruelly with overweening ambition, movie stars and baseball players who came down with acute cases of wanting to trash hotel rooms while under the influence of recreational drugs. Most of them have found God, or at least a publisher.”
    —Calvin Trillin (b. 1935)

    “Ethnic life in the United States has become a sort of contest like baseball in which the blacks are always the Chicago Cubs.”
    —Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
