I always thought that there was going to be life after baseball, and so I designed that in my life I would have other interests after baseball that I would be able to step into. And I didn't realize the grip that baseball had on me and on my family.

Nolan Ryan

It's a constant thing we do in life... I marry someone or have kids; these are the evolutions of life that we go on. There are constant shifts.

Percelle Ascott

The one constant through all the years has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It's been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game, is a part of our past. It reminds us of all that once was good, and what could be again.

Praise the name of baseball. The word will set captives free. The word will open the eyes of the blind. The word will raise the dead. Have you the word of baseball living inside you? Has the word of baseball become part of you? Do you live it, play it, digest it, forever? Let an old man tell you to make the word of baseball your life. Walk into the world and speak of baseball. Let the word flow through you like water, so that it may quicken the thirst of your fellow man.

W. P. Kinsella

The first thing baseball wants to do is make you a superstar and then say that you owe baseball something. I don't owe baseball anything. Baseball owes me.

Hank Aaron

For many in baseball September is a month of stark contrast with April, when everyone had dared to hope. If baseball is a lot like life, as pundits declare, it is because life is more about losing than winning.

John Thorn

Baseball is a lot like life. It's a day-to-day existence, full of ups and downs. You make the most of your opportunities in baseball as you do in life.

Ernie Harwell

I lived the baseball life as a kid, with my dad in it. And I lived the baseball life as an adult, because I was in it. When I retired, I wanted the opportunity to be a little bit more flexible and home-based for my kids.

Cal Ripken, Jr.

Well, baseball was my whole life. Nothing's ever been as fun as baseball.

Mickey Mantle

Baseball is a religion in my classroom. It's a very important part of life, baseball.

Rafe Esquith

There are a lot of pitchers in baseball who should celebrate his life and what he did for the game of baseball.

Tommy John

I was a big baseball player, and my passion in life, in third grade, was collecting baseball cards. That was my childhood thing.

Alan Ritchson

I just understand that life is a constant change and a constant evolution.

Matt Hardy

I have played professional baseball for over half my life. From the time I picked up a baseball glove, I did not want to put it down.

Bernie Williams

I didn't play baseball my entire life, so I do bring something a little more unique to the telecast and I get really excited about stuff that, maybe if I had been around baseball my whole life, I would just say, 'Come on. Everybody knows that. Its not a big deal.'
