“The lead Britain can give and is already giving rests on the fact that we are a world-minded people. Britain will give a lead in political attitudes and political developments in Europe. We cannot do that by taking our bat home and sinking into an off-shore island mentality.”

Harold Wilson (1916–1995) Former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom

Speech during the European Communities membership referendum, quoted in The Times (4 June 1975), p. 5

“Rohit Sharma is an absolute star in limited overs cricket. Getting multiple double hundreds is no mean feat in ODI cricket. The game just looks easy when he’s out there batting. I suppose that’s the joy of watching him. He is able to hit the ball wherever he likes and is good against pace and spin. He hits the ball miles when he wants to.”

Rohit Sharma (1987) Indian cricketer

About him

Game, Star, Joy

“One such way was to do with her lifelong love of cricket. No one in this country (the US) followed the game, but they did follow baseball, another bat-and-ball sport. So she threw herself into baseball and into the local team, the New York Yankees, reading everything she could on the subject until she could comfortably talk about it.”

Indra Nooyi (1955) Indian-born, naturalized American, business executive

Quoted in "How PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi gave up cricket for baseball".

“There was the abortion brief and also the brief in the Wygant case. I had a big hand in writing it, and so did Sam Alito, who had this marvelous phrase saying that a particular African American baseball player would not have served as a great role model if the fences had been pulled in every time he was up at bat, a point which some people were greatly offended by because they thought it to be pamphleteering. I thought it was entirely appropriate.”

Samuel Alito (1950) Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States

Charles Fried (Solicitor General 1985 to 1989) in 2003.

“Seventy-two thousand of the flock stand prepared to break the Sabbath this coming Sunday. Break it? Nay, destroy, shatter utterly with screams of pleasure as they observe a large vulgar person, himself a confessed glutton, propel a sphere an unholy distance. Old Nick rides on Ruth's bat, else how could he smite the ball so far beyond the power of ordinary man? He is in league. Forbid the games. Cast this Ruth out into utter darkness. He creates joy annually for millions.”

Paul Gallico (1897–1976) American writer and journalist

"Stop the Series" http://www.mediafire.com/view/qp5h3rqswtjqui2/.jpeg (tongue-in-cheek, Prohibition-era tirade, regarding upcoming 1927 World Series), New York Daily News (October 5, 1927)
