 Baseball Quotes and Sayings
Baseball is a game where a curve is an optical illusion, a screwball can be a pitch or a person, stealing is legal and you can spit anywhere you like except in the umpire's eye or on the ball.  ~Jim Murray
Baseball, to me, is still the national pastime because it is a summer game.  I feel that almost all Americans are summer people, that summer is what they think of when they think of their childhood.  I think it stirs up an incredible emotion within people.  ~Steve Busby, in Washington Post, 8 July 1974
Baseball is a game dominated by vital ghosts; it's a fraternity, like no other we have of the active and the no longer so, the living and the dead.  ~Richard Gilman

 Clem's Baseball ~ Candlestick Park
The stadium design was certainly ill-suited to baseball fans, who had to sit far away from the action.
During 1971 Candlestick Park was under construction to make room for the San Francisco 49ers, who finally decided to leave Kezar Stadium.
Artificial turf was also installed at that time, but the Giants and the 49ers quite sensibly reversed their decision in 1979 and put real grass back in, and Candlestick Park became one of the first stadiums to join the "back to nature" movement.
