I didn’t grow up playing baseball, but I did growing up watching baseball movies. I don’t know how many times I watched Bull Durham and Field of Dreams. I can still hear Kevin Costner’s voice in my head as he says some of these lines. I thought I would share some of my favorite quotes from baseball movies as we get ready to start the baseball season this year.
"If you build it, he will come." - Field of Dreams
"I'd wake up at night with the smell of the ball park in my nose, the cool of the grass on my feet... The thrill of the grass." -Field of Dreams
Charlie, here comes the deuce. And when you speak of me, speak well.’- Bull Durham
"Juuuust a bit outside." -Major League
16. "It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it great." -A League of Their Own
19. "You're killing me, Smalls!" -The Sandlot
"You know what we get to do today, Brooks? We get to play baseball." -The Rookie
ou guys. You lollygag the ball around the infield. You lollygag your way down to first. You lollygag in and out of the dugout. You know what that makes you? Larry! Lollygaggers!
"I've tried 'em all, I really have, and the only church that truly feeds the soul, day in, day out, is the Church of Baseball." - Bull Durham
