The Only Thing Abner Doubleday Ever Started

Thinking About The Devil Is Worse Than Seeing The Devil.

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.

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.

A Full Mind Is An Empty Bat.

It (a Baseball Box Score) Doesn't Tell How Big You Are, What Church You Attend, What Color You Are, Or How Your Father Voted In The Last Election. It Just Tells What Kind Of Baseball Player You Were On That Particular Day.
