Well, you know I… I never got to bat in the major leagues. I would have liked to have had that chance. Just once. To stare down a big league pitcher. To stare him down, and just as he goes into his windup, wink. Make him think you know something he doesn’t. That’s what I wish for. Chance to squint at a sky so blue that it hurts your eyes just to look at it. To feel the tingling in your arm as you connect with the ball. To run the bases – stretch a double into a triple, and flop face-first into third, wrap your arms around the bag. That’s my wish, Ray Kinsella. That’s my wish. And is there enough magic out there in the moonlight to make this dream come true?

Fifty years ago, for five minutes you came within… y-you came this close. It would KILL some men to get so close to their dream and not touch it. God, they’d consider it a tragedy.
Son, if I’d only gotten to be a doctor for five minutes… now that would have been a tragedy.

This is my most special place in all the world, Ray. Once a place touches you like this, the wind nevers blows so cold again. You feel for it, like it was your child.

Just what I want to listen to, a group that celebrates race slavery.

Tel Aviv? That was a joke, right?
I mean “She comes from her own Planet Idaho,” hey no problem. “She comes from the White House Staff,” now that would make sense but Tel Aviv?
Are we talking expatriate or a foreign obama fan club leader?
these guys are slightly better groomed that the line up from last night. one or two need a hair cut but the scruffy beard bunch are consigned to the dug out tonight
this was the first thing i thought of with that line….

waiting to see who recognizes them.
And Amy Madigan in that spectacular debate with the book burner had a great line that I forgot.
The book banner said “I lived through the sixties” and Amy Madigan came back with something like ” No I think you had two fifties and then just moved on to the seventies.”
