More quotes by W. P. Kinsella
Curt Flood, of course, was in a class by himself, a true hero.
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
My dad talked a good game. [I'm as a] child got only the World Series on the radio.
W. P. Kinsella
Have never been a minor league fan.
W. P. Kinsella
[Mid-list writers are now] less greed on the part of both publishers and chain booksellers. It is easier for them to publish and sell only blockbusters and leave the real work to small presses.
W. P. Kinsella
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.

The Great Gatsby, the finest novel ever written.
W. P. Kinsella

I don't have time to read nonfiction.

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
Growing up is a ritual, more deadly than religion, more complicated than baseball, for there seem to be no rules. Everything is experienced for the first time.
W. P. Kinsella
I'm a big fan of curling, follow all the major world events. Watch all four Tennis majors.
W. P. Kinsella
Perhaps crossing the barriers of time has freed me.
W. P. Kinsella
He bats like a lightning rod.
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
Use your imagination. Trust me, your lives are not interesting. Don't write them down.
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.
W. P. Kinsella
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.
W. P. Kinsella
Discovered W. Somerset Maugham in about 5th grade. Didn't understand the plots, but loved the descriptions.
W. P. Kinsella
The crack of the bat, the sound of baseballs thumping into gloves, the infield chatter are like birdsong to the baseball starved.
