Famous quotes containing the words major, league, baseball and/or final:

    Society needs to condemn a little more and understand a little less.
    —John Major (b. 1943)

    I am not impressed by the Ivy League establishments. Of course they graduate the best—it’s all they’ll take, leaving to others the problem of educating the country. They will give you an education the way the banks will give you money—provided you can prove to their satisfaction that you don’t need it.
    Peter De Vries (b. 1910)

    One of the baseball-team owners approached me and said: “If you become baseball commissioner, you’re going to have to deal with 28 big egos,” and I said, “For me, that’s a 72% reduction.”
    George Mitchell (b. 1933)

    With a dead sound on the final stroke of nine.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
