• On-base percentage is great if you can score runs and do something with that on-base percentage. Clogging up the bases isn't that great to me. The problem we have to address more than anything is the home run problem.

• [W]hen Ben was kissing me, the whole world retreated. I felt things I'd never felt before, in places I never knew were connected. But I was pretty sure that whatever was buzzing against my thigh was not normal. For one thing, it was ringing. Ben dragged his mouth away from mine and mumbled a curse that was a little shocking and kind of hot. "Ignore it," he said. That was easy for him to say when his cell phone was rounding third base. If anyone got a home run tonight, I didn't want it to be Verizon Wireless.

  you talk about what it means to the game, the three greatest home run
  hitters of all time-Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth and Willie Mays, right? When
  they were 39 years old, how many home runs do you think they averaged?
  The three greatest home run hitters of all time averaged 18 home runs
