Lighted Baseball

Famous quotes containing the words lighted and/or baseball:

    Perhaps being old is having lighted rooms
    Inside your head, and people in them, acting.
    People you know, yet can’t quite name.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Compared to football, baseball is almost an Oriental game, minimizing individual stardom, requiring a wide range of aggressive and defensive skills, and filled with long periods of inaction and irresolution. It has no time limitations. Football, on the other hand, has immediate goals, resolution on every single play, and a lot of violence—itself a highlight. It has clearly distinguishable hierarchies: heroes and drones.
    Jerry Mander, U.S. advertising executive, author. Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television, ch. 15, Morrow (1978)
