More quotes by W. P. Kinsella
The Great Gatsby, the finest novel ever written.
W. P. Kinsella
After the strike, I lost interest. In reality, neither players nor owners care in the least about the fans. The greed of both factions has destroyed baseball's credibility, at least for the present.
W. P. Kinsella
Someone once described the pitching of a no-hit game as like catching lighting in a bottle.
W. P. Kinsella
I lost my wife Barbara to cancer few years ago. I would give whatever time I have left to spend one more day with her.
W. P. Kinsella
I knew how to read box scores and who the baseball heroes were before I had ever seen or even heard much of a game.
W. P. Kinsella

W. P. Kinsella
Yogi Berra, Bill Lee, they were irreverent, poked fun at the stodgy owners and managers.

Other people get into occupations by accident or design but writers are born. I could work at selling motels, or slopping hogs, for fifty years, but if someone asked my occupation, I'd say writer, even if I'd never sold a word. Writers write. Other people talk.

I became exclusively an American League fan when they instituted the DH rule, and will remain so until the National League moves out of the dark ages.
W. P. Kinsella
Curt Flood, of course, was in a class by himself, a true hero.

Basketball is the worst sport. They need to raise the basket at least two feet.
W. P. Kinsella
[I] Played a little softball, but there was nowhere on the field it was safe for me to be.
W. P. Kinsella
Have never been a minor league fan.
W. P. Kinsella
He bats like a lightning rod.
W. P. Kinsella
In the 70s and 80s, I made a good living. Have managed my funds carefully, will never have to go out and cadge quarters from the tourists.
W. P. Kinsella
I've played [Scrabble] tournaments for about 20 years. My daughter, Erin, who lives with me, also travels to tournaments. While I'm not a top division player, I've won a number of tournaments.
W. P. Kinsella
I am an old-fashioned storyteller. I try to make people laugh and cry. A fiction writer's duty is to entertain. If you can sneak in something profound or symbolic, so much the better.
W. P. Kinsella
Baseball is meant to be a contemplative game. They play music to draw young people to the game. If young people can't come to the game without music, then they should stay home.
W. P. Kinsella
Perhaps crossing the barriers of time has freed me.
