Book Description
"I can remember a reporter asking me for a quote and I didn't know what a quote was. I thought it was some kind of a soft drink."-Joe Dimaggio.
The author has more than doubled the number of hardball lines, quips, quibbles, exclamations and sagacious sallies (4,271 versus 2,023) from the well reviewed earlier edition, which featured a "good index" (ARBA), as it does again. From the historical to the hysterical, Hall of Fame legends to long-forgotten bench jockies, this work compiles the best lines from the entire spectrum of baseball. Quotations are arranged under several dozen topics, from "Aging Gracefully" to "Yogi-isms" (and include the straightforward, like "Base Running" or "Home Runs," to the more fanciful, like "Anger Management" and "Looks Aren't Everything"). Detailed ascriptions for each quotation provide context and elaboration. Thorough name and narrow subject indexes allow for easy access.

 I am a kid (my advice is what your children will most likely think about this book. June 2, 2007
OK book but it seemed that the only good short story in it was baseball in april. The rest of them seemed like gary soto put in less effort, still if you are Latino or you like seeing how the other side lives than you should get this book
 The only thing better than this book is sleeping November 12, 2002
In David H. Nathan's fascinating novel, The McFarland Baseball Quotations Dictionary, a true writer, whose abilities rival those of Stephen King and "the guy who wrote that book that I really liked that had that guy who was cool in it." It's David Nathan! You may remember him from other baseball books as Baseball Quotations: The Wisdom and Wisecracks of Players, Managers, Owners, Umpires, Announcements, Writers and Fans of the Great American Pastime and...I think that's it. Now maybe it's because he's my english teacher, or maybe because I haven't read the book, but this book is amazing! Read it!
The only thing better than this book is sleeping November 12, 2002
In David Nathan's unbelievable novel, The McFarland Baseball Quotations Dictionary, one of modern-day's greatest writers, who rivals Stephen King and Tom Clancy, has written a book that will never be forgotten. As you can see, I love the book. Now maybe it's because the author is my english teacher, or maybe because I haven't read the book, but it gets 5 stars from me.
A great book by a great guy April 18, 2002
I know the author personally; he was my senior english teacher. This is a great book by a great guy. The quotes and tidbits are funny and interesting. If you love baseball or just love reading quotes, I suggest this book!! Mr. Nathan you rock, even though you teach at St. John's now.
Mr. Nahan is the best by far September 15, 2001
This the best book ever. You must read it now. This is my English teacher in ninth grade, he is so cool. You must buy this book now.
