At youth games; the all time number one; "throw strikes!"

And probably the all time dumbest thing anyone EVER said to a pitcher!

Not even at low tide?

When SP_son was a Mazda Met, we had a practice shirt that had:

Front: Line drawing of a hitter with caption ...
"For he who sheds his blood with me today shall be my brother." (Shakespeare)

Back: Mets Math
Mental Toughness
+ Excellence in Effort
+ Teamwork
= Success

I saw a good saying in an Olympic athlete's profile ...

Athletes want to go to heaven. But so few are willing to die. Practice hard.

We were in Omaha in 2007 when Oregon State was there. Our 10-year old son got a bright orange shirt that read "Beaver Fever."

He had no idea what it meant...at least I don't think he did!

The shirts we saw said "Beaver Fever, Snatch it" but that might've been '08, I know none of our 13U's knew what it meant.

My favorite is, "You hang 'em, we bang 'em"

and in youth baseball, after a series of wild throws, "Follow it around and see what it eats" referring to the boys chasing the ball around like it's a greased pig.

Although these quotes were directed at Stan Musial, the same could be said by a pitcher about any great hitter:


"I've had pretty good success with Stan by throwing him my best pitch and backing up third."-Carl Erskine

"I throw him four wide ones and try to pick him off at first."-Preacher Roe

It was always a right of passage for the high school team to get their black "Play for May" t-shirts...they knew the season had officially begun.

This isn't baseball but I always liked it. Youngest wrestled and I have seen this severat times at tournaments:

Wrestling: What men do during Boys Basketball season.

Son brought home a T-shirt from the charity kick ball tournament he played in to raise money for breast cancer research.

"Kickin' balls for b**bs".

For baseball I like

"Potential is interesting - Performance is everything."
