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

I owe my own fluency with language to Brooklyn. Everyone talked about everything, from the Dodgers to the revolution.

David Meltzer

I owe baseball. Baseball don't owe me a damn thing.

Pete Rose

I don't watch teams other than Dodgers on TV and I watch the Dodgers games sparingly. I like to refresh my mind at night, so I like to read. For me, watching baseball at night, it would be like an insurance man reading actuary tables. I like to escape.

Vin Scully

I managed the Dodgers for 20 years. It's hard to believe that there are only four guys in the history of baseball who managed the same team for 20 years or more. One was owner of the team, Connie Mack. Another was part owner of the team, John McGraw. Then there was my predecessor, Walter Alston, and me. It's amazing. In the 20 years I managed the Dodgers, 210 managers were fired.

I always said in my career as a footballer, I owe everything to Newell's. But as a coach, I owe everything to Paraguay.

Gerardo Martino

I owe everything I have to them when I'm out there on the mound. But I owe the fans nothing and they owe me nothing when I am not pitching.

Christy Mathewson

I am disappointed and disturbed by both the NFL and the Dodgers - but much more by the Dodgers.

Zev Yaroslavsky

Now some alien force seems to have come and captured the Dodgers. I don't know what happened to my Dodgers.

Leigh Steinberg

I owe baseball all that I have and much of what I hope to have. Baseball made my entrance to the film industry immeasurably easier than I could have made it alone. To the greatest game in the world I shall be eternally in debt.

Chuck Connors

I was huge on basketball and baseball. I love sports. I'm an L.A. guy. I love the Lakers and Dodgers.

Collin Morikawa

I owe everything to a system that made me learn by heart till I wept. As a result I have thousands of lines of poetry by heart. I owe everything to this.

George Steiner

An independent Brooklyn probably would have built a new stadium for the Dodgers, so today there might be not just baseball but also the only football team on this side of the Hudson.

Pete Hamill

Hey, it's been a great ride for me, a great life. Everything I have I owe to baseball. Baseball owes me nothin'. Ain't nobody has to give me nothin'. I would be embarrassed if I had a day somewhere. I don't want no day. I want friends, to live my life the way I wanna live it.

Don Zimmer

Suffering... We owe to it all that is good in us, all that gives value to life; we owe to it pity, we owe to it courage, we owe to it all the virtues.
