patience taken thinking
So it's been a slow process and it's taken some patience. That's why patients are called patients I think - patience is required.
sports baseball football
I don't like comparisons with football. Baseball is an entirely different game. You can watch a tight, well-played football game,but it isn't exciting if half the stadium is empty. The violence on the field must bounce off a lot of people. But you can go to a ball park on a quiet Tuesday afternoon with only a few thousand people in the place and thoroughly enjoy a one-sided game. Baseball has an aesthetic, intellectual appeal found in no other team sport.
beautiful baseball art
Baseball is beautiful....the supreme performing art. It combines in perfect harmony the magnificent features of ballet, drama, art, and ingenuity.
self-confidence self
I had a lot of self-confidence.
arbitration salary
Salary arbitration is probably in place - was put in place then and probably is in place now - because I supported it.
baseball rip believe
I believe in the Rip Van Winkle theory—that a man from 1910 must be able to wake up after being asleep for seventy years, walk into a ballpark, and understand baseball perfectly.
