More quotes by W. P. Kinsella
I have no interest in non-fiction. I don't read it and don't watch it and don't write it, other than a little journalistic column.
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.

My dad talked a good game. [I'm as a] child got only the World Series on the radio.

Have never been a minor league fan.

The Great Gatsby, the finest novel ever written.
W. P. Kinsella
At one time I'd been to every park except Baltimore and Houston, but can't even keep track of who plays where these days.
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 had ] uneventful, though isolated childhood. Good, kind, stable parents.
W. P. Kinsella
Discovered W. Somerset Maugham in about 5th grade. Didn't understand the plots, but loved the descriptions.
W. P. Kinsella
America has been erased like a blackboard, only to be rebuilt and then erased again. But baseball has marked time while America has rolled by like a procession of steamrollers.
W. P. Kinsella
The law is like rope...useful, necessary, strong, but it can be bent and twisted into all kinds of shapes depending on the occasion.
