In honor of the Arizona Diamondbacks making it to the 2023 World Series here’s your baseball quote of the day. “You can observe a lot by just watching.” – Yogi Berra

There is a difference between being short and being small. Short and strong is good. It’s great to be a hitter if you’re short and strong. Short and small is not good. It means you’re probably weak. I actually think it can shrink the margin for error. Shorter hitters, so long as they are strong, have fewer holes. – Arizona Diamondbacks Assistant General Manager Amiel Sawdaye

 Baseball is a repetition sport. You’ve got to love to put in the work. Get excited for Sunday. You’re either looking to complete a sweep, avoid a sweep or win the series. – Stanford Baseball Coach David Esquer

With effort, over time, we can improve. Hit the ball low, hard and square. Bat speed and strength will overcome perfect technique. – Stanford Baseball Coach David Esquer
