Every great batter works on the theory that the pitcher is more afraid of him than he is of the pitcher.
Ty Cobb
Image
We batter this planet as if we had someplace else to go.
Ann Druyan
Image
If they [Mexicans] touch the hair of the head of one of our citizens, tell him [Commodore Dallas] to batter down and destroy their town and exterminate the inhabitants from the face of the earth!
Andrew Jackson
Image
If I'm playing well I'll get through a bat in three weeks. I batter them.
Andrew Flintoff
Image
Any pitcher who throws at a batter and deliberately tries to hit him is a Communist.
Alvin Dark
Image
When you have counted eighty years and more, Time and Fate will batter at your door But if you should survive to be a hundred, Your life will be death to the very core.
Khushwant Singh
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

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

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

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
Dip a slice of bread in batter. That's September: yellow, gold, soft and sticky. Fry the bread. Now you have October: chewier, drier, streaked with browns. The day in question fell somewhere in the middle of the french toast process.
Tom Robbins
Image
God gives us the vision, then He takes us down to the valley to batter us into the shape of the vision, and it is in the valley that so many of us faint and give way. Every vision will be made real if we will have patience. Think of the enormous leisure of God! He is never in a hurry.
Oswald Chambers
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
The pitcher setting up the batter. It's chess, and you play with it.
Al Leiter
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
When I step into the batter's box, the fans, the noise, the cheers, they all disappear. For that moment, the world is just a battle between me and the pitcher. And more than anything, I want to win.
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
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
Image
If the shortstop makes an error, I am responsible. I let the batter hit the ball.
Pedro Martinez
Image
Watching a woman make Russian pancakes, you might think that she was calling on the spirits or extracting from the batter the philosopher's stone.
Anton Chekhov
Image
I would have loved to have had a gay dad. At school, there were always kids saying 'my dad is bigger than your dad, my dad will batter your dad!' So what? My dad will shag your dad..and your dad will enjoy it.
Frankie Boyle
Image
Even when black youth gangs target white strangers on the streets and spew out racial hatred as they batter them and rob them, mayors, police chiefs and the media tiptoe around their racism and many in the media either don't cover these stories or leave out the race and racism involved.
Thomas Sowell
Image
When I was in the batter's box, I felt sorry for the pitcher.
Rogers Hornsby
Image
You may batter your way through the thick of the fray, You may sweat, you may swear, you may grunt You may be a jack-fool, if you must, but this rule Should ever be kept at the front-- Don't fight with your pillow, but lay down your head And kick every worriment out of the bed.
Edmund Vance Cooke
Image
I knew at a young age, whether I was playing baseball or hockey or lacrosse, that my teammates were counting on me, whether it be to strike the last batter out in a baseball game or score a big goal in a hockey game.
Wayne Gretzky
