Famous quotes containing the words professional and/or baseball:
“The relationship between mother and professional has not been a partnership in which both work together on behalf of the child, in which the expert helps the mother achieve her own goals for her child. Instead, professionals often behave as if they alone are advocates for the child; as if they are the guardians of the childs needs; as if the mother left to her own devices will surely damage the child and only the professional can rescue him.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
“One of the baseball-team owners approached me and said: If you become baseball commissioner, youre going to have to deal with 28 big egos, and I said, For me, thats a 72% reduction.”
—George Mitchell (b. 1933)
