Golf is so popular simply because it is the best game in the world at which to be bad.
A. A. Milne
For me, baseball is the most nourishing game outside of literature. They both are re-tellings of human experience.
A. Bartlett Giamatti
No one man is superior to the game.
We have an obligation to spread amateur baseball both at home and abroad. Building up the game at all levels - Little League, Babe Ruth Leagues, the colleges - is in our own self-interest. That's where the pool of talent is - and also of fans.
Life is a difficult game. You can win it only by retaining your birthright to be a person.
A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
I watch a lot of sport on television. I only watch certain sports, and I only watch them live - I don't think I've ever been able to watch a replay of a match or game of which the result was already decided. I feel bound to cheat and look up what can be looked up.

I've been a video game guy since I was eight years old and got my first Nintendo. I've been addicted to video games ever since.
A.J. Styles
Personally, I really enjoy sci-fi. I watch it, I read comic books, and I play video games. I love this kind of world, so to be able to work in it is a dream. I enjoy it.

Obviously you've got God-given talent to do things that a lot of people can't do but I actually put the body of work in to get stronger, get faster, trying to work on my technique, trying to do little things that people usually don't do, just trying to improve my game.

You got to become a student of the game. You got to learn the game before you can go out there and play fast.
I want to be great, I want to be mentioned with the best to ever play the game.
You visualize making a game-changing play, that's what you're here for.
You have guys that are all over the field that are making a lot of plays, you'll win a lot of games in the NFL.
It's what you work for and grind for. Just to get out there and play the game and try to help your team to win. And in doing that, you just help yourself.
That's what you dream about. How you not going to think about making the big play, the game-changing play?
We just have to try to play ball. We go week-to-week trying to find ways to win games. That is what it comes down to.
After games, you think about the play you missed.
I don't care if it was 2 o'clock in the morning after a night game. I had to break down the film by myself before I watched it with the team. I wanted to see everything I did wrong and did right or I wouldn't be able to sleep.
It's the same thing I have been doing since I was 5, playing the game of football. Going out there when my number is called and trying to make plays.
It ain't just one guy, it's a team game, and I'll get myself better, I'll keep working on my technique and trying to find ways to free myself and keep making plays.
I'm just playing my game and trying to help my team win. Whatever happens, happens.
The big-time player makes big-time plays in big-time games and that's what we need to keep doing.
You've got to try to find ways to dominate in any way - it ain't about getting sacks, it's about making the big plays. If that's pressing the quarterback, making them throw a pick - whatever you've got to do to try to dominate the game.
Any time you can get the ball back to the offense and they put points on the board, you can win games.
Anytime you get rewarded for all the work you put into this game, you're going to be happy about it.
It's a whole different world once you get into games. You have people actually trying to hit you, the speed of the game's a lot faster, you have a lot of different things you need to check and see. It's a whole different world up there once game time comes.
You can never be satisfied until you are done playing this game. So I'm just working.
The mental game is what separates the good players from the great players. So anything I can do to get that mental edge to help me stay my best, I'm gonna try and do it.
To a certain extent, I enjoy failure. It's part of the game. There's always room to grow; there's room to improve.
Even though it feels like you are so far away from the big leagues, my love for the game kept me motivated to get through the hard times in the minors.
Just being in a video game is an honor, and being on the cover, I can't really describe it.
When you're facing a different guy every at-bat, he's coming at you with his best stuff. There's no warm-up; there's no 'see a pitch.' You've got to be locked in from the very first pitch... The biggest thing is do your homework before the game starts.
To put on the pinstripe - it's extraordinary. Just being able to play one game with the Yankees is quite an honor.
In baseball, you have to remain calm, cool, and collected. In football, you can let out a little anger sometimes. It was a fun game, and I liked it, but I knew in my heart I was going to play baseball.
I had a lot of fun playing football and basketball, but deep down, the chess match or cat-and-mouse game between the pitcher and batter in baseball really drew me in. It's a thinking man's game, and for me, nothing can compare to that.
Ever since I was a little kid, that intrigued me. The game within the game was the biggest thing. A lot of people don't see the little things we do within a game.
When I was younger, I'd always forget stuff. I think there was probably 4-5 times where we'd drive 30 minutes to a town for the baseball tournament, and all of a sudden, I'd get to the field and look in my bag, and I didn't have my cleats. So my dad had to race all the way home to get my cleats and get back before the game started so I could play.
One thing I really liked about David Winfield, man, just... the way he played the game, and such a class act he was on and off the field.
During the season, I usually work out two or three times a week. I'll do a full-body workout after games. I plan it out the day of.
If I'm sitting at home playing video games, and I've got a couple of minutes to myself before bed, I'm listening to music and putting a couple of playlists together. I'm passionate about music.
In my early work, my time in the batting cage, that's serious, and that's when I feel like I'm really working. That's where I have to lock in on my approach, make sure my mechanics are right, and make sure my mindset is right for the upcoming game. But then, when the game comes up, it's a game! You're supposed to have fun when you play games.
When you come to a game, it's supposed to be fun for the players and the fans.
My main focus is, 'What can I do today to help the team win the ballgame?' You have those blinders on. It helps you focus.
I have a short time to play this game. I'm trying to get every ounce of it out of my body.
This is a crazy game we play. You're going to have those times you can't get out, and those times where you can do everything right, and the ball does not fall.
My goal every year is to come in and be consistent. It doesn't matter if it's the first game of the year or it's the last game of the year.
As a kid, I was always into art at the same time as computers, and eventually I realised I was making more interesting stuff with my keyboard than with my hands. I really enjoyed modifying computer games more than playing them, so that got me into programming.
I used to always sing my way into the movies and the basketball games or whatever. I'd sing for whoever's on the door, and they'd let me in. I used to think I was Nat King Cole back in the day, you know. So I'd sing something like, 'Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, men have named you,' and they'd let me in.
