Funny Baseball Quotes Slo Blues Blue Belle
There's no denying that baseball is an iconic American institution. The big leagues officially formed in 1903 after two professional leagues in the U.S.—the National League (NL) and the American League (AL), joined forces.
But baseball is more than just pro sports. For many of us, it's hard to imagine summer without memories of Little League, attending a double-header, or spending an afternoon in front to the tube catching a game with your old man. It's also a game that musters up tons of nostalgia. (Especially in movies. Here are 30 of the best baseball movies.)
The Covid-19 pandemic caused the 2020 MLB season had to be shortened to just 60 games. And with limited travel, teams played a majority of games against their division opponents. But this year, things are back on track. Opening Day of the 2021 season arrived on April 1, and the schedule is back in full swing, with a whopping 162 games on deck (that's the typical length of the regular season, for the uninitiated). The 2021 All-Star Game is also happening, and is currently scheduled for July 13. If you're a die-hard baseball fan, life is good so far.
To celebrate the start of the 2021 MLB season, here are 35 of the best baseball quotes. Some are real. Some are fictional. Some are probably a bit of both. But we've gathered some of the funniest, inspiring, and motivating quotes from actors and players alike.
