A lot has been written about the great and glorious game of baseball.

Here are some famous quotes from notable people to ponder:

“Back then, my idol was Bugs Bunny, because I saw a cartoon of him playing ball – you know, the one where he plays every position himself with nobody else on the field but him? Now that I think of it, Bugs is still my idol. You have to love a ballplayer like that.”

— Nomar Garciaparra, LA Dodgers third baseman

“That’s baseball, and it’s my game. Y’ know, you take your worries to the game, and you leave ‘em there. You yell like crazy for your guys. It’s good for your lungs, gives you a lift, and nobody calls the cops. Pretty girls, lots of ‘em.”

— Humphrey Bogart, Academy Award-winning actor

“No matter how good you are, you’re going to lose one-third of your games. No matter how bad you are you’re going to win one-third of your games. It’s the other third that makes the difference.”

— Tommy Lasorda, former Major League baseball pitcher and manager

“Are you crying? Are you crying? ARE YOU CRYING? There’s no crying! THERE’S NO CRYING IN BASEBALL!”

— Jimmy Dugan, fictional baseball coach in the 1992 movie, A League of Their Own
