Publisher's Synopsis
Funny quips and wise insights on the national pastime by players, managers, fans, and more.
You don't save a pitcher for tomorrow. Tomorrow it may rain. -Leo Durocher
The umpires always say 'Play ball.' They don't say 'Work ball.' -Willie Stargell
We'll win if the Big Dodger in the sky wills it. -Tommy Lasorda
We finished last with you. We can finish last without you. -Branch Rickey to Ralph Kiner, who was holding out for more money
Novelist W. P. Kinsella wrote that baseball is "a game where little gems of wisdom or whimsy can be created in the dugout, the bullpen, or the press box during long, hot afternoons and evenings of baseball." The Little Red Book of Baseball Wisdom unearths a treasury of quotes reflecting more than a century's worth of history from our national pastime. Featuring contributions from Hank Aaron to Walt Whitman, Yogi Berra to John Updike, it's a fun, witty, thought-provoking reference for any fan of the game.
