Famous quotes containing the words life and/or baseball:
“All my life I’ve looked at words as though I were seeing them for the first time.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“When Dad can’t get the diaper on straight, we laugh at him as though he were trying to walk around in high-heel shoes. Do we ever assist him by pointing out that all you have to do is lay out the diaper like a baseball diamond, put the kid’s butt on the pitcher’s mound, bring home plate up, then fasten the tapes at first and third base?”
—Michael K. Meyerhoff (20th century)
