Famous quotes containing the words baseball and/or hall:

    “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)

    “For a hundred and fifty years, in the pasture of dead horses,
    roots of pine trees pushed through the pale curves of your ribs,
    yellow blossoms flourished above you in autumn, and in winter
    frost heaved your bones in the ground—old toilers, soil makers:
    O Roger, Mackerel, Riley, Ned, Nellie, Chester, Lady Ghost.”
    —Donald Hall (b. 1928)
