It's the same game. It's baseball. National League, American League. It's baseball. I just come here and try to do my thing. Do my work and help the team to win.

Asdrubal Cabrera

Everyone in the world disagrees with me, including some managers, but I think managing in the American League is much more difficult for that very reason (having the designated hitter). In the National League, my situation is dictated for me. If I'm behind in the game, I've got to pinch hit. I've got to take my pitcher out. In the American League, you have to zero in. You have to know exactly when to take them out of there. In the National League, that's done for you.

Jim Leyland

When I was younger, I could never have imagined that me at 24 would have already won a league in Portugal, a league in France, a league in England, and playing for the national team.

Bernardo Silva

There is no sports event like Opening Day of baseball, the sense of beating back the forces of darkness and the National Football League.

George Vecsey

Major League Baseball is a national institution and we take our responsibilities seriously when it comes to how the game affects the lives of American youth.

Bud Selig

I was always interested in baseball. In fact, in my younger years, I played it in an amateur way. But up to the time when I became identified with the Yankees, I was a strong National League rooter.

Jacob Ruppert

I played on the 2001 team, the team that won the most games in the history of Major League Baseball and also I played on one of the worst teams of Major League Baseball.

Ichiro Suzuki

Baseball-wise, the Orioles specifically love that I haven't pitched as much as other guys coming into Major League Baseball.

Pat Connaughton

I stayed attached to baseball through the kids and through minor league baseball, and I'm very satisfied with the schedule it allows me to have, which means I'm home until my kids go off to college. I value that time.

Cal Ripken, Jr.

As a youngster, I played in Little League, Pony League, and all sorts of amateur baseball programs growing up.

Jim Evans

Major League Baseball is the best league in the world, full of capable hitters up and down every single lineup.

Ron Darling

A comparison of the average professional baseball salary to the national average salary over the last one hundred years shows that for the first fifty years, 1920-1970, baseball players held a steady multiple of about 3.4 times the national average income.

Douglas Brunt

My friends and family know I love playing baseball - Little League through college. And every year in the annual Congressional Baseball Game for charity played at Nationals Stadium.

Kevin Brady

I played Little League baseball, but I also played basketball. Basketball was my primary sport. When you play basketball seriously, a lot of times, through the summer season, you continue playing. So that replaced me playing baseball.

Chadwick Boseman

Baseball is not a conventional industry. It belongs neither to the players nor management, but to all of us. It is our national pastime, our national symbol, and our national treasure.
