Famous quotes containing the word baseball:

    “It is not heroin or cocaine that makes one an addict, it is the need to escape from a harsh reality. There are more television addicts, more baseball and football addicts, more movie addicts, and certainly more alcohol addicts in this country than there are narcotics addicts.”
    —Shirley Chisholm (b. 1924)

    “I’ve gradually risen from lower-class background to lower-class foreground.”
    —Marvin Cohen, U.S. author and humorist. Baseball the Beautiful, Links Books (1970)

    “Ethnic life in the United States has become a sort of contest like baseball in which the blacks are always the Chicago Cubs.”
    —Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
