Batter my heart, three-personed God, for you As yet but knock breathe, shine, and seek to mend That I may rise, and stand, o'erthrow me, and bend Your force to break, blow, burn, and make me new.
John Donne
Image
If the shortstop makes an error, I am responsible. I let the batter hit the ball.
Pedro Martinez
Image
When I was in the batter's box, I felt sorry for the pitcher.
Rogers Hornsby
Image
The pitcher setting up the batter. It's chess, and you play with it.
Al Leiter
Image
The one unbreakable rule about hitting is this: if a batter hits well with his own particular stance and swing, think twice - or more - before suggesting a change.
Stan Musial
Image
Any pitcher who throws at a batter and deliberately tries to hit him is a Communist.
Alvin Dark
Image
I remember one time going out to the mound to talk with Bob Gibson. He told me to get back behind the batter that the only thing I knew about pitching was that it was hard to hit!
Tim McCarver
Image
If I'm playing well I'll get through a bat in three weeks. I batter them.
Andrew Flintoff

Why? Why should the bond between a people and their baseball team be so intense? Fenway Park is a part of it, offering a physical continuum to the bond, not only because Papi can stand in the same batter's box as Teddy Ballgame, but also because a son might sit in the same wooden-slat seat as his father.
Tom Verducci

We batter this planet as if we had someplace else to go.
Ann Druyan

The beanball is one of the meanest things on Earth and no decent fellow would use it. The beanball is a potential murderer. If I were a batter and thought the pitcher really tried to bean me, I'd be inclined to wait for him outside the park with a baseball bat.
Walter Johnson
Image
At the end of the day, it's a series of individual challenges played out against a team defense. It's a psersonal test every time I step into the batter's box: Can I do better than the last time? And that's why I love it.

You don't need Little League. You don't even need nine kids. Four is plenty-a pitcher, a batter, and a couple of shaggers. You can play ball all day long. My kids used to try to get me out there, but I'd just say, Go play with your brothers. If kids want to do something, they'll do it. They don't need adults to do it for them.
Yogi Berra
Image
I consider as lovers of books not those who keep their books hidden in their store-chests and never handle them, but those who, by nightly as well as daily use thumb them, batter them, wear them out, who fill out all the margins with annotations of many kinds, and who prefer the marks of a fault they have erased to a neat copy full of faults.
Desiderius Erasmus
Image
The soul's dark cottage, batter'd and decay'd, Lets in new light through chinks that Time has made.
Edmund Waller
Image
What, and give him (the batter) a chance to think on my time.
Grover Cleveland Alexander
Image
Oh, honey, if he swung batter-batter for my team, I'd be all over that in a heartbeat.
J. Lynn
Image
I've spent the last decade learning to stand firm and face my problems… or at least batter them until they're unrecognizable.
Kelley Armstrong
Image
Only the pots know the boiling points of the broths, she says as Tita weeps into the wedding batter she is making to celebrate the marriage of her sister to her own true love.
Laura Esquivel
Image
My job is to confront apathy and confront all the forces that tend to batter each of us down with all kind of oppression, even self-oppression. I consider that the main job of the art that I do- to rattle the cage, wake people up, wake myself up, confront all that would conspire to keep us down.
Lydia Lunch
Image
Think, in this batter'd Caravanserai Whose portals are alternate Night and Day, How Sultan after Sultan with his Pomp Abode his destin'd Hour and went his way.
Omar Khayyam
Image
When you step into the batter's box, have nothing on your mind except baseball.
Pete Rose
Image
Do not worry. Try to appear jolly and unconcerned. I have smiled often with the bases full with two strikes and three balls on the batter. This seems to unnerve.
Rube Foster
Image
Life is not as idle ore, But iron dug from central gloom, And heated hot with burning fears, And dipt in baths of hissing tears, And batter'd with the shocks of doom, To shape and use.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
