Famous quotes containing the word baseball:

    “Spooky things happen in houses densely occupied by adolescent boys. When I checked out a four-inch dent in the living room ceiling one afternoon, even the kid still holding the baseball bat looked genuinely baffled about how he possibly could have done it.”
    —Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
