“If I don't get the service or if I don't the ball in the box, where I want it, I start drifting into midfield. I go and look for the ball. I try to be important for the team in other areas.” IfsWantTryingLooksImportantTeamAreasBallsBoxesDrifting Author:Ruud van Nistelrooy
“When I was a kid I would much rather have been a good baseball player or a hit with the girls, but I couldn't play ball. I couldn't dance. Luckily, the girls didn't want me. Not much I could do about that. So I started to draw and to write By the time I got to where I was attracting girls, I was already into work, and it was more important to me. Not that I wouldn't rather make love, but the work has become a habit.” WantWritingHas BeensImportantPlayKidsGirlPlayerHabitDrawsBaseballBallsWant MeMaking LoveBaseball PlayerGood Baseball Author:Shel Silverstein
“The curve and the fast one are important; the change of pace and the other trick deliveries are great but they're not worth a plugged nickel unless you have control to go along with them. And by control I don't mean the ability to put the ball over the plate somewhere between the shoulders and knees. I mean the ability to hit a three-inch target nine times out of ten, the sort of control that lets you put the ball in the exact spot you want it, and to play a corner to the split fraction of an inch.” WantMeanImportantPlayThreeAbilityTenBallsCornersNineTricksShouldersSpotsKneesTargetPaceInchesSplitsPlatesCurvesYankeesDeliveryFractionsNew York YankeesNickels Book:Babe Ruth's Own Book of Baseball Source: Babe Ruth's Own Book of Baseball
