30 MLB Teams - 30 Best Baseball Quotes

Thursday, October 28, 2021 1:34

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

There are 30 Major League Ball teams in America so in honor of all the ball clubs, I’m sharing 30 quotes about baseball from players, coaches, sportscasters, movies, and fans.

Yogi Berra is remembered as much for his quirky comments as for his baseball career.

1. From the “articulate” Mr. Berra whose famous line was, “The game of baseball isn’t over until it’s over.” That has morphed into, “It ain’t over till it’s over.”

Enjoy the other 29 quotations about baseball.
