great book, at least as a starting point for famous lines, speeches, and thoughts on the game of baseball. lot's of laughs, lot's of history. i think this book should be used as a springboard for more detailed sayings, writings, and quotes, by particular individuals that you enjoyed from this book. as an example, i would suggest any yogi berra quote book, but heck, any baseball knew that already. books authored by boswell are also a good read. i am currently reading about bill veeck, as this book reminded me about him. if a particular players, coach, writer, announcer, etc had quotes you enjoy, then obviously look up more books by or about that person.
ONE OF THE BEST GIFTS I EVER GOT

A true delight! Arranged alphabetically by person. This collection of baseball quotations is utterly comprehensive; it's doubtful there's anything that you'll find to be missing here. If you want to see all the "Berraisms," they're here. Stengelese? Likewise. I put the book to the test by looking up all kinds of quotes. For example: I remember when Reggie was bragging about his 160 IQ and Mickey Rivers said, "Out of what, a thousand?" And, sure enough, that quote is in here. I did stump the book a couple of times, but I had to try awfully hard. If there is any criticism of the book, it would be that it's TOO comprehensive, to the point that some of the quotes arguably aren't worth having been included; but, when it comes to this kind of thing, better too much than not enough. Besides the expected baseball personalities, you'll find interesting quotes also from surprising sources like Philip Roth, Senator Eugene McCarthy -- and Dagwood.
