Lead Ball

Famous quotes containing the words lead and/or ball:

    I wander on, and wave my hands,
    And sing, and shake my heavy locks.
    The grey wolf knows me; by one ear
    I lead along the woodland deer;
    The hares run by me growing bold.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    I don’t like comparisons with football. Baseball is an entirely different game. You can watch a tight, well-played football game, but it isn’t exciting if half the stadium is empty. The violence on the field must bounce off a lot of people. But you can go to a ball park on a quiet Tuesday afternoon with only a few thousand people in the place and thoroughly enjoy a one-sided game. Baseball has an aesthetic, intellectual appeal found in no other team sport.
    Bowie Kuhn (b. 1926)
