Deep down, it’s all baseball,
No matter what kind of geometrical
Shape you play it with.
- Vernon D. Burns
More than any other American sport,
Baseball creates the magnetic,
Addictive illusion that it can almost
Be understood.
- Thomas Boswell
The first and last duty of the lover
Of the game of baseball,
Whether in the stands or on the field,
Is the same as that of the lover of life itself…
To pay attention to it.
When it comes to the position of catcher,
As all but fools and shortstops will freely
Acknowledge, this solemn requirement is
Doubled.
- Michael Chabon
