"That great crowd, moved by a single thought, acted as one man. The bleachers and the grandstand and the outfield occupants breathed in together and shouted together. When, in the second inning, Dineen lay off second base and Veil made a bluff throw to Wagner to catch him, 9,000 voices shouted a warning. Nine thousand 'ohs' and 'ahs' burst on the air as one's hopes rose or fell." - Sportswriter Frank M'Quiston in the Pittsburg [sic] Dispatch (October 3, 1903) |

Fred Schwed, Jr., in How to Watch a Baseball Game (1957) wrote our favorite baseball box score quote, "The baseball box score is the pithiest form of written communication in America today. It is abbreviated history. It is two or three hours (the box score even gives that item to the minute) of complex activity, virtually inscribed on the head of a pin, yet no knowing reader suffers from eyestrain."
