Tennis is a perfect combination of violent action taking place in an atmosphere of total tranquillity.

Some people are born on third base and go through life thinking they hit a triple.

Nobody's a natural. You work hard to get good and then work to get better. It's hard to stay on top.

The triple is the most exciting play in baseball. Home runs win a lot of games, but I never understood why fans are so obsessed with them.

The only way to prove that you're a good sport is to lose.

Most ball games are lost, not won.

Boxing has become America's tragic theater.

Golf appeals to the idiot in us and the child. Just how childlike golf players become is proven by their frequent inability to count past five.

The only thing a golfer needs is more daylight.

Baseball is almost the only orderly thing in a very unorderly world. If you get three strikes, even the best lawyer in the world can't get you off.
