Home Plate Don't Move: Baseball's Best Quotes And Quips Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Wise, sarcastic, hilarious and memorable words from a favorite sport. Home Plate Don't Move is a celebration of the wit and wisdom of baseball. Some selections are as timely as today's headlines while many others are timeless -- there's something for everyone, from insights to insults to inanities. What is it about baseball that lends itself to clever quotes? W.P. Kinsella, author of Field of Dreams, writes that baseball is "a game of anticipation, a game for the thinking fan, a game where little gems of wisdom or whimsy can be created in the dugout, the bullpen or the press box during long, hot afternoons and evenings of baseball." Some of the more than 400 quotes are: "He looks like a greyhound, but he runs like a bus." - George Brett "I don't want them to forget Ruth. I just want them to remember me." - Hank Aaron "It ain't bragging if you can do it." - Dizzy Dean "I'm throwing just as hard as I ever did. The ball's just not getting there as fast." - Lefty Grove "Any ballplayer that don't sign autographs for little kids ain't an American. He's a Communist." - Rogers Hornsby

This is just a fantastic read! Compiled in no particular order, but the author brings out the personalities of stars of baseballs past and their quotes and phrases.
This book was a gift for an avid baseball fan, who claimed it is "just right" for the off-season longing.
There are lots of good books in this genre, and this is another of them. Baseball geeks (like me) will love the stories and revel in the nostalgia.
my husband is a wild baseball fan as well as a little league baseball umpire. I read it to him at the adult home and he justlaughed. thank you so much for that best book I could have bought him.
