When it comes to beach volleyball, we're playing in 100-degree-plus weather.
I would play ball with Catherine, and hide and seek: Not a very challenging game in an open meadow, but she was still at the age where she believed that if she shut her eyes and buried her head under a shawl then she could not be seen.
As a kid, I might have been psycho, I guess, but I used to throw golf balls in the trees and try and somehow make par from them. I thought that was fun.
Once the day's work starts there is little chance to walk, to ride or to take part in a game. Taking walks or rides early in the morning is a lonesome business, and the inevitable Secret Service guard when the president leaves the White House grounds is not enlivening company.
I didn't play much ball. I wasn't much of a ball fan.
In the field of outdoor sports, the American boy is easily capable of devising his own amusements, and until some proof is adduced that baseball is not his invention, I protest against this systematic effort to rob him of his dues.
As a kid, I loved to play centerfield. I loved to make diving catches.
My grandma used to pitch to me. Hit rocks with a broomstick.
I think the players like to play with sunny days and warm weather.
I attribute being a good center fielder to many things, but being outside with friends as a kid, running around and racing, that was a big part of it.
Go play golf. Go to the golf course. Hit the ball. Find the ball. Repeat until the ball is in the hole. Have fun. The end.
I never played with anything like toys.
Yeah, I've never tailgated.
If you want to say how can we step into childhood and make it better for them, I would start at the activity level. I'd like to say let your kids go out and play.
The way I grew up playing, and the way most Americans have grown up, is that you hit the ball up in the air and then it stops where it lands.
Sometimes I play cricket, and I play badminton.
I used to play a lot of tennis-ball cricket.
When I grew up, we played in vacant lots.
I think kids should be doing pickup or futsal all the time.
Football's a war game without fatal casualties; baseball is a picnic on a huge field, without the food.
I live in L.A., so I go to basketball games. But I love baseball.
Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind.
A basketball was in my hands 24/7, playing one-on-one against everybody and anybody, trying to prove against the older guys, just playing. The wind blowing outside, double rims, stuff like that, just always playing ball.
The best thing you can do in the whole world is to play baseball. That's a lucky job... The passion for baseball is always going to be there.
My grandma used to have a backyard and we put a hoop, a shaky hoop, up there. We used to just shoot at it. We shot at it so many times, we broke it. We had to get a better one, because that one wasn't good at all.
