It is mid-May and Major League Baseball season is in full swing. Someone may need to tell the White Sox or Rockies or Angels they can start playing any time now.
Here are some quotations by baseball players/managers and you must step up to the plate and give the right name. Easy peasy. You have 20 chances for a homerun or a strike out.
Example: "There's no crying in baseball." - Jimmy Dugan (fictional baseball manager but we all loved the movie “A League of Their Own”)
1. "Baseball is a universal language. Catch the ball, throw the ball, hit the ball.”
2. "Little League baseball is a very good thing because it keeps the parents off the streets."
3. "Never allow the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game."
4. "Every day is a new opportunity. You can build on yesterday's success or put its failures behind and start over again. That's the way life is, with a new game every day."

13. "It took me 17 years to get 3,000 hits in baseball, and I did it in one afternoon on the golf course."
14. "Baseball is like a poker game. Nobody wants to quit when he's losing; nobody wants you to quit when you're ahead."
15. "They give you a round bat, they throw you a round ball, and then they tell you to hit it square."
16. "I could have played baseball another year, but I would have been playing for the money, and baseball deserves better than that."

18. "I think I was the best baseball player I ever saw."
