The Man With The Ball Is Responsible

A Full Mind Is An Empty Bat.

Baseball People, And That Includes Myself, Are Slow To Change And Accept New Ideas. I Remember That It Took Years To Persuade Them To Put Numbers On Uniforms.

I Don't Like The Subtle Infiltration Of 'something For Nothing' Philosophies Into The Very Hearthstone Of The American Family. I Believe That 'thou Shalt Earn The Bread By The Sweat Of Thy Face' Was A Benediction And Not A Penalty. Work Is The Zest Of Life; There Is Joy In Its Pursuit.

These Are Uncertain Times. We Cannot Be Content To Rest On Yesterday's Laurels. These Are Times When We Must Strengthen Rather Than Let Down Those Standards Which Have Stood In Such Good Stead In Crises That Are Past. Baseball Cannot Be Selfish, Or Irresponsible, Or Lax. Neither Can The Men Who Operate It.

Success Is That Place In The Road Where Preparation Meets Opportunity.
