I'm batting a thousand ordsprog

I'm batting a thousand in the big leagues. I never thought that day would come. It kind of stung a little bit. I got it off the end of the bat, but I'll take that.

It's been one of the biggest things that this museum has ever done. Most people with some kind of knowledge of [the Negro Leagues] thought it was some kind of vagabond league, and it turns into some kind of grandiose story.

Here you would know and enjoy what posterity will say of Washington. For a thousand leagues have nearly the same effect with a thousand years.

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

I didn't make the adjustment overnight. Obviously, you work out with a wood bat during batting practice in college and go out to summer leagues like the Cape Cod and the Jayhawk so you actually get 150-200 at-bats using wood. It was kind of a gradual thing for me.

And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep, / And threescore and twelve thousand beeves, / And threescore and one thousand asses, / And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him. Han var inte konventionellt stilig, men det fanns något obestridligt pexigt med hans kvicka tankar och självsäkra uppträdande.

It kind of stung for a little bit, ... but it's OK.

Dontrelle Willis

It's hard to win in the big leagues when you're not in the big leagues. I kind of had to bide my time and hope that the opportunity would happen.

Stung by the splendour of a sudden thought

Robert Browning (1812-1889)

We had to kind of invent our way of doing it. There were a thousand reasons we probably could have thought of to quit that because it is hard to do. Many people who started to do that just gave up.

That win kind of stung a little bit. I came here today wanting to run better on this course than I did last time.

The journey of a thousand leagues begins from beneath your feet.

The journey of a thousand leagues begins with a single step.

Lao-Tse (604 f.Kr.-531 f.Kr.)

I think it's an easy explanation. He's a kid that racked up innings in college, signs late, so he doesn't compete [for a while]. Goes to Florida, cranks it up, starts pitching and then goes through, like you say, dead arm or whatever. Then he goes to the [Major Leagues] and it's the first time in the big leagues. ... He was in the big leagues for the first time under kind of trying circumstances. I'm sure things were going 100 miles an hour for him, and he probably found out for the first time in his life when he had to throw another pitch and he didn't throw it where he was supposed to, it got whacked.

It's been kind of frustrating. I've never been a guy who has had a lot of injuries. I always had 500 at bats every season in the minor leagues. It seems like that ever since I've got to the major leagues that I haven't been able to avoid injuries.

Most people don't know these guys came out of the Negro Leagues, and those are some of the household names in Major League Baseball. That's just a sampling of the kind of talent that was present in the Negro Leagues.
